Abstract

This preliminary report describes two cases of progressive spasticity and scoliosis in children with myelomeningocele. Both patients had evidence of tethered spinal cord. Untethering of the spinal cord was successful in arresting the scoliosis but not the spasticity. Selective posterior rhizotomy was successful in resolving the spasticity in both cases. The technique of selective posterior rhizotomy is reviewed.

摘要

这份初步报告描述了两例患有脊髓脊膜膨出的儿童出现进行性痉挛和脊柱侧弯的病例。两名患者均有脊髓拴系的证据。脊髓松解术成功阻止了脊柱侧弯，但未能缓解痉挛。选择性后根切断术在两例患者中均成功缓解了痉挛。本文对选择性后根切断术的技术进行了综述。
