Child Neurol Open 2018; 5:2329048X18780477. [PMID: 29977975 PMCID: PMC6024344 DOI: 10.1177/2329048x18780477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2018] [Revised: 04/17/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a new method of vibration-assisted neuromuscular rehabilitation in patients with spinal muscular atrophy types II and III. In this retrospective observational study, 38 children (mean age: 4.64 ± 1.95 years) were analyzed. The physiotherapy program, Auf die Beine, combines 6 months of home-based side-alternating whole-body vibration with interval blocks of intensive, goal-directed rehabilitation: 13 days at the start and 6 days after 3 months. Assessments were applied at the beginning (M0), after 6 months of home-based training (M6), and after 6 months of follow-up (M12). Motor abilities were assessed by the Gross Motor Function Measure 66 and Hammersmith Functional Mobility Scale. The Gross Motor Function Measure showed an increase of 1.69 (3.73) points (P = .124) and the Hammersmith Functional Mobility Scale a significant increase of 2.73 ± 1.79 points (P = .007) after 12 months; however, whether this leads to a long-term clinical benefit requires further investigation.

Abstract
We report the peripartum management of a 30-year-old wheelchair-bound nullipara woman with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type II, including severe restrictive lung disease and Harrington rods. At 38 weeks gestation, she was admitted for an induction of labor with neuraxial analgesia, but she subsequently had to be delivered via cesarean section under general anesthesia. We describe the anesthetic implications of SMA on labor and delivery management and review the available literature.

Abstract
This report describes a 33-year-old primigravid woman with spinal muscular atrophy Type III (Kugelberg-Welander syndrome). Elective caesarean section was performed at 38 weeks gestation under spinal anaesthesia. The implications of spinal muscular atrophy for anaesthesia for caesarean section are described.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate 75 patients affected by childhood-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), using the diagnostic criteria and classification recently suggested by the International SMA Collaboration Consortium. Sex predominance, age of onset, clinical evaluation and other relevant clinical data of the disease are reported. These findings, as well as the role of the EMG and muscle biopsy as diagnostic tools, are discussed. The study suggests that the frequency of SMA in some areas of Sicily is high, possibly correlating with a relatively high gene frequency.

Abstract
We present a 6-year-old patient with a spinal cord tumor who had been followed with the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy since the age of 23 months. Reasons for reevaluating the diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy were the early onset of scoliosis, the slight asymmetry in weakness of extremities, and the appearance of urinary retention in the last 3 days. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a very long, intramedullary tumor extending from the level of the seventh cervical segment to the conus medullaris, later reported to be a grade I astrocytoma. We therefore recommend that magnetic resonance imaging, a noninvasive and sensitive technique for intraspinal pathologies, be performed in every patient with an atypical form of spinal muscular atrophy.
