Long-term outcomes following posterior fossa decompression in pediatric patients with Chiari malformation type 1, a population-based cohort study.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
November 2024
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- Posterior fossa decompression is a surgical procedure for Chiari malformation type I that can lead to complications and persistent symptoms in up to 20% of patients, especially in pediatric cases where prediction tools are lacking.
- A study of 71 pediatric patients with Chiari 1 found that motor deficits, surgical complications, and persistent hydrocephalus post-surgery were significant predictors of poor outcomes, while the presence of syringomyelia was associated with better outcomes.
- The findings highlight the need to consider these factors when evaluating potential surgical risks and what to expect in postoperative recovery for children undergoing this procedure.
Perioperative Considerations in Patients with Rett Syndrome as Compared to Those with Cerebral Palsy.
Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
November 2024
Cohen Children's Medical Center, Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, New Hyde Park, NY.
Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective cohort analysis comparing outcomes of posterior spinal fusion surgery in patients with Rett syndrome (RS) and cerebral palsy (CP) for neuromuscular scoliosis.
- Results indicate that while complication rates are similar between RS and CP patients, those with CP experience higher estimated blood loss, longer surgical times, and worse postoperative spinal alignment.
- Overall, findings suggest that RS patients have better surgical and postoperative outcomes compared to those with CP.
Review of patients with achondroplasia: a single-center's experience with follow-up and associated morbidities.
Eur J Pediatr

Division of Pediatric Genetics, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Achondroplasia (ACH; MIM #100,800), caused by a heterozygous gain of function pathogenic variant in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3; MIM*134,934), is the most prevalent and most readily identifiable cause of disproportionate short stature that is compatible with life. In addition, individuals with achondroplasia face significant medical, functional, and psychosocial challenges throughout their lives. This study assessed associated morbidities in patients with achondroplasia at a single center in Turkey.

Department of Orthopaedics, Beijing Friendship Hospital Pinggu Campus, Capital Medical University, Beijing 101200, P.R. China.
The pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear. It has been found that interleukin-6 (IL-6) rs1800795 locus and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) rs3025058 locus gene polymorphisms may be associated with AIS susceptibility, which has been controversial and needs to be further confirmed by updated meta-analysis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of MMP-3 rs3025058 and IL-6 rs1800795 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with susceptibility to AIS.

Article Synopsis
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal condition that arises during puberty, and exercises like Schroth's exercises (SE) and core-stabilization exercises (CE) are popular treatments, but their effectiveness is still debated.
- A systematic review analyzed 410 studies on SE and CE from multiple databases, ultimately concluding that nine papers met the criteria for evaluation, indicating that both methods can improve Cobb angles in scoliosis.
- Although SE showed moderate evidence of effectiveness compared to CE (which had limited evidence), overall, the research does not provide clear superiority between the two methods, suggesting more high-quality studies are necessary.
