Asymmetry in the Onset of Paraspinal Muscles Activity Differs in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis Compared With Those With a Symmetrical Spine.

School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Australia.
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by an asymmetrical formation of the spine and ribcage. Recent work provides evidence of asymmetrical (right versus left side) paraspinal muscle size, composition, and activation amplitude in adolescents with AIS. Each of these factors influences muscle force generation.

Variable axial skeleton inflammation and axial skeleton tissue remodelling with aberrant ligamentous soft-tissue ossification occurs across the axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) axial psoriatic arthritis (ax-PsA) and the diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) spectrum. In this article, we show how imaging has resulted in an enthesis-centric model for different disease pathology compartmentalisation or a 'root and trunk' model for pathological process development. Whilst ankylosing spondylitis is predominantly characterised by early entheseal bony anchorage-related osteitis (root inflammation) and DISH is characterised by ligamentous soft-tissue ossification, ax-PsA is more heterogenous.

SLSC pathogenesis is associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH); however, the relationship between IIH and SLSC is not fully understood due to the limited number of published case reports. Here, we report a unique case of SLSC in a 39-year-old female who presented with a combination of a lateral sphenoid cephalocele and multiple radiologic findings indicative of IIH, some of which have never been described in previously published case reports.

J Orthop Case Rep
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan - 342005, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Congenital pseudoarthrosis is a rare bone disorder primarily affecting the radius, ulna, tibia, and fibula, with a few cases reported in association with conditions like neurofibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia, while acquired cases often follow fractures or infections like tuberculosis.
- - A 3-year-old girl presented with pain and swelling in her right thigh, where an MRI indicated chronic osteomyelitis with non-united fracture, leading to abnormal mobility and cortical resorption.
- - The treatment involved surgical resection of the pseudoarthrosis followed by a two-stage masquelet procedure, which included bone grafting and plate fixation to support healing.
Duropathy as a rare motor neuron disease mimic: from bibrachial amyotrophy to infratentorial superficial siderosis.
BMC Neurol
September 2024
Department of Neurology, IRCCS Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Piazzale Brescia, 20, Milan, 20149, Italy.
Background: Bibrachial amyotrophy associated with an extradural CSF collection and infratentorial superficial siderosis (SS) are rare conditions that may occasionally mimic ALS. Both disorders are assumed to be due to dural tears.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man presented with a 7-year history of slowly progressive asymmetric bibrachial amyotrophy.
