Clinical and radiological features of remote consequences of birth injuries of the spine and spinal cord in children

Abstract

Clinical manifestations of birth injuries of the central nervous system are polymorphic and depend on the level of damage to the structures of the nervous system. Clinicians often encounter subclinical manifestations of natal injuries, especially of birth injuries of the spinal cord. Subsequently, it is these undetected natal injuries that cause the so-called delayed neurological disorders. Late neurological complications can occur in the weeks and months of a child's life, as well as many years later. Patients of the neurologist are children with headaches due to chronic and cerebral vascular insufficiency, early cervical osteochondrosis, postural disorders, transient disorders of spinal circulation developed as a result of instability of previously injured vertebrae, with cerebral circulation disorders of the ischemic type from mild dyshemia to severe ischemic strokes with all the typical symptoms.
