Abstract

The first sign of intramedullary pathofogies can be a scofiotic deformity. This usually devefops without abnormal neurofogic findings and can appear as idiopathic scoliosis. When unrecognized and surgical treatment of the scoliosis is required, the fesion may Iead to a neurologic demage. We investigated the spinal cords of 124 Cases who apparently had an idiopathic scoliosis without abnormaf neurologic findings, with MRI and found intramedullary pathologies in 8,06% (10 cases). of this cases, 3 had scofiosis with Ieft thoracic curve, 3 had juvenile scoliosis, and 4 had adolescent scofiosis with right thoracic curve. These findings fed us to the conclusion that MRI of the spinal cord is necessary in patients with idiopathic scoliosis who have juvenile curves, atypical curves, rapidly progressive curves and who require surgical treatment.

Özet

İntrameduller patolojilerin ilk belirtisi skolyotik deformite olabilmektedir. Bu, sıklıkla nörolojik belirti vermeden gelişmektedir ve idiopatik skolyoz görünümü vermektedir. Lezyonun tanımaması ve skolyozun cerrahi tedavisi söz konusu olduğunda ise nörolojik hasar oluşma riski bulunmaktadır. Nörolojik belirtisi bulunmayan idiopatik skolyoz görünümlü 124 olgunun MRG ile yapılan spinal kord incelemesinde % 8.06 (10 olgu) oranında intrameduller patoloji saptanmıştır. Patoloji saptanan olguların 3 ünü sol torakal eğrilikli skolyoz, 3 ünü juvenil skolyoz, 4 ünü ise sağ torasik eğrilikli adolesan skolyoz oluşturmaktadır. Bu bulgular ile juvenil , atipik eğrilikli, hızlı progresyon gösteren olgular ile cerrahi tedavi gerektiren tüm idiopatik skolyoz olgularında spinaf kordun MRG ile araştırtıması gerektiğini sonucuna varılmıştır.
