Congenital/Developmental defects of the spine treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore

Congenital spine deformities refer to spine disorders that develop in an individual before birth. Spine and spinal cord structural problems occur due to improper vertebral development during early fetal development and can be managed by providing developmental defects treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore.

When left untreated, these deformities can cause other complications, such as developmental problems in the heart, urinary tract and kidneys, breathing difficulties, and paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body).

The cause of congenital spine deformities is still unknown to medical researchers. Many of these disorders result in missing vertebrae, fused vertebrae, or partially formed vertebrae.

Commonly occurred deformities are,

  • Klippel-Feil syndrome

  • Congenital Scoliosis

  • Congenital Thoracic Hyperkyphosis

Symptoms

In cases of abnormal back curvature, doctors can often detect a spinal deformity at birth. Some spine deformities do not become apparent until later in childhood or adolescence when symptoms worsen. Congenital spine deformities are typically characterised by,

  • Difficulty in breathing and walking

  • Tilted pelvis

  • An abnormal curve or twist in the back left or right, forward or backward

  • An uneven shoulder, hip, waist, or leg.

Diagnosis

Spine deformities also have the same diagnostic procedures as X-ray, MRI and ultrasound scans.

Treatment Procedures

Non-Surgical Procedures: Before considering surgery, nonoperative treatment options are usually recommended. In nonoperative treatments, pain medication, specific braces, and physical therapy (including gait and posture training) are typically used.

Surgical Procedures: When Surgery Is Considered:

  • Deformity of the spine is progressing

  • Deformities caused by the condition are unbearable

  • Despite nonoperative treatment options, the patient experiences chronic pain

  • Nerve roots or spinal cord have been compressed.

  • For certain patients, spinal instrumentation and growing rod surgery can safely and efficiently repair congenital spinal abnormalities.
