Low Back Pain Caused By Scheuermann's Disease: A Casereport, Ming-Chi Lin, Shin-Tsu Chang, Kao-Chung Tsai

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Scheuermann's disease is one of the common causes of structural abnormality in the thoracic or thoracolumbar spines. Many theories have been proposed for the etiologies of Scheuermann's disease, but the true etiology remains unclear. The disease has a strong familial tendency which may be inh-erited in an autosomal dominant mode. This article describes a 21-year-old male patient who was suff-ering from low back pain for 2 years.

Posttraumatic Spinal Cord Cyst:Three Cases Report And Literature Review, Nai-Chiung Huang, Ta-Sen Wei

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Posttraumatic spinal cord cyst is a late sequelae of spinal cord injury. The cyst has no or little inf-luence on the patient’s neurological functions. We report three patients of spinal cord injury complica-ted with posttraumatic spinal cord cyst whose motor functions were compromized due to increased spasticity. The incidence of the cyst may be up to 50%. The cyst may come from liquefaction of the cord tissue after local edema, necrosis and hematoma, or a myelomalacia due to local ischemia. The best choice of the diagnostic tool is magnetic resonance imaging. All subjects regained their ambulation function after comprehensive rehabilitation …
