Repair of a large thoracolumbar myelomeningocele with associated lumbar kyphosis
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2013This report describes a novel method of repair for a large thoracolumbar myelomeningocele with an associated lumbar kyphosis in the neonate. A Caucasian male child was born at term with an antenatal diagnosis of hydrocephalus and spina bifida. Lumbar spine X-ray showed a significant kyphosis at L2-L3 level. Kyphectomy was performed and a cervical plate

Thoracolumbar Kyphosis and Lumbosacral Hyperlordosis in Achondroplastic Children
1988The thoracolumbar (TL) kyphosis is present at birth, or is noticed within the first 6 months in about 95% of newborns. The curve becomes more pronounced and gains its maximal expression when the child becomes a sitter, between 6 and 18 months of age (Fig. la,b).

Proximal Kyphosis After Short Posterior Fusion for Thoracolumbar Scoliosis
Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2003Thoracolumbar idiopathic scoliosis usually is treated by anterior spinal fusion. However, short posterior spinal fusion that includes only the structural curve has been tried in a limited number of patients. The fusion may end cranially in the lower thoracic region and cause an increase in sagittal decompensation at the proximal junction.
