Spine malformations are the defects in the vertebral segmentation that develop in the fetus, but also can form later in life due to accidents or improper posture. Anatomically, the spine consists of different tissues including the muscular, skeletal, and neural elements. Any alterations during the development of the spine as an embryo can result in spinal deformities.
Signs & Symptoms Of Spine Malformation
Patients experiencing spinal malformations may develop disabilities that can damage to the spinal cord, nerves, and the surrounding tissues. Common signs and symptoms of spinal malformations include:
- Pain, tingling, or numbness due to sensory deficits
- Abnormal curvature of the spinal column
- Difficulty in movements due to motor deficits
- Venous hypertension
- Bulging of the blood vessel or aneurysm
Common Causes
Most spine malformations are congenital and patients have them from birth. However, there are a few malformations that may occur later in life, such as poor posture, accident or trauma, or family history of congenital spinal malformations.
Treatments
Pain medications will help reduce back pain and stiffness, but patients experiencing spinal atrioventricular malformation may require surgery. Surgery is considered when other treatments are unsuccessful or when the symptoms are more severe.
There are some procedures that are less invasive, such as endovascular embolization and radiosurgery, and they are radiological interventions which reduce the risk of hemorrhage associated with spinal atrioventricular malformation.
