urodynamic testing is it a useful tool in the management of children with cutaneous stigmata of Occult Spinal Dysraphism
The Journal of Urology, 2013Co-Authors: L.t. Lavallée, Michael P. Leonard, C. Dubois, Luis GuerraAbstract:Purpose: Lumbar cutaneous stigmata in infants may be associated with Occult Spinal Dysraphism and often prompt urological evaluation, including urodynamic testing. We examined whether urodynamic testing is useful in this population by evaluating the association between abnormal urodynamic test results and need for tethered cord release.Materials and Methods: We reviewed a historical cohort of children with cutaneous stigmata of Spinal Dysraphism referred to our hospital from 2002 to 2010. We evaluated patient characteristics, imaging, urodynamic studies and neurosurgical interventions. We analyzed the association between urodynamic testing and imaging studies, and neurosurgical intervention.Results: We retrospectively studied 123 patients with a median age of 11 months (IQR 6.5–15.5), including 112 nontoilet trained infants (91%). Of the patients 19% (23 of 123) had abnormal urodynamics, 85% (99 of 116) had abnormal Spinal magnetic resonance imaging and 96% (98 of 102) had an abnormal Spinal ultrasound. T...

Şüpheli Cilt Bulgusu Saptanan Çocuklarda Okült Spinal Disrafizm Sıklığı: Geriye Dönük Bir Çalışma
2014Co-Authors: Sevgi Yaşar Durmuş, Çiğdem Üner, Gonca YilmazAbstract:Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of Occult Spinal Dysraphism in patients complaining about skin findings and those with skin signs determined during routine medical examination and to compare the results with the literature. Material and Methods: Patients presenting to the Dr. Sami Ulus Obstetrics and Gynecology, Children Health and Disease Training and Research Hospital between July 2012 and July 2013 and found to have suspicious skin findings were evaluated retrospectively. Results: We included 117 cases with suspicious skin findings in this study. The most frequent skin finding was a sacral dimple (87%) that was found in 102 cases. The other findings were hypertrichosis (6%) in 7 cases, coexistence of sacral dimple and hypertrichosis (4%) in 5 cases, sacral sinus (2%) in 2 cases and sacral mass (1%) in 1 case. Occult Spinal Dysraphism was found in 7% of all evaluated cases. Conclusion: Skin signs have an important role in the early diagnosis of Occult Spinal Dysraphism. Clinicians should therefore be careful during examinations and especially newborn examinations. Imaging methods must be used wisely for children when skin signs are found.
