Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of CP are often accompanied by
The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of pathological primitive reflexes and their effects on dental caries and oral hygiene in cerebral-palsied individuals. A group of 124 non-institutionalized patients (57 males) attending Lar Escola Sao Francisco Rehabilitation Center, who had a
Introduction Brachytherapy, with or without external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), can be an alternative to surgery for organ preservation in early and locally advanced oral cavity cancers. This study aims to evaluate the effect of high dose rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy on early and
To describe the oral health status and investigate factors affecting dental caries experience among children with cerebral palsy (CP) in rural Bangladesh.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among children with CP who are part of the Bangladesh Cerebral Palsy Register (BCPR) study. Caries
BACKGROUND Various factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of infarction after posterior fossa surgery such as venous air embolism, patient's position (seated or prone), hyperflexion of the neck, excessive spinal cord traction, cervical canal stenosis, and systemic arterial hypotension. The
BACKGROUND
An anterior transoral approach allows the surgeon to access the lower portion of the clivus; to the first, second or third thoracic vertebra. It is indispensible that the teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue be retracted to avoid interposition on the surgical field. This retraction is carried
Odontoidectomy is a standard procedure employed in the treatment of irreducible, compressive ventral pathologies of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). The traditionally used transoral route is often challenging due to the increased depth of the surgical corridor and risk of injuries to the soft
OBJECTIVE
Multicystic encephalomalacia (EMQ) is a pediatric entity where the brain tissue is substituted by cavities of variably sizes.
METHODS
Nineteen children diagnosed of EMQ were studied retrospectively. We analyzed the etiology, diagnosis and the clinical and radiological
Lumbar spinal fluid drainage is a common procedure for treating hydrocephalus and alleviating vasospasm by egesting blood in the subarachnoid cavity after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite being an effective and safe procedure, cerebrospinal fluid overdrainage might result in serious complications.
Balantidium coli is a ciliated protozoan parasite that primarily infects primates and pigs. It is the largest protozoan to infect humans and is a well-known cause of diarrhea and dysentery. Extraintestinal disease is uncommon, and extraintestinal spread to the peritoneal cavity, appendix,
Pneumocephalus is a collection of air within in the intracranial cavity, most commonly seen following traumatic injury or cranial surgeries. Esophageal injury and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak are rare complications that may occur following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). We present
Transoral approach to the cervico-medullary junction is a well-established procedure. However oropharyngeal complications in the form of soft tissue morbidity postoperatively do occur. We report a case of a teenage boy with traumatic quadriparesis secondary to compression of the cervico-medullary
Nude mice were infested with bovine Neospora by intraperitoneal inoculation of the brain and spinal cord from an aborted bovine fetus due to neosporosis. Inoculated mice showed severe emaciation and tetraplegia at about 2 to 4 months post-inoculation. Histopathologically, polyradiculoneuritis and
BACKGROUND
At the present time porencephalia refers to the presence of deep, unilateral or bilateral cavities or excavations, frequently communicating with the subarachnoid space or lateral ventricles, which occur following brain destruction during the end of the foetal or beginning of the new-born
Infants with an immobile arm may be easily overlooked in primary care settings. Differential diagnoses include injuries, infections, neuropathies, ischemia and rarely, neoplasms. We report the case of a one-year-old boy with weakness in his left arm after minor trauma with a diagnosis of brachial
