The parents were afraid of delaying their child’s growth, so they rushed over to the hospital during the winter holidays, determined to straighten the spine through surgery, but is it really possible to “straighten” the spine if it is curved? I’m not sure if it’s really possible to “straighten” the spine when it’s curved. The little patient did not talk much, he felt like nothing was wrong, he was always playing with his cell phone every time he checked in, and his parents told me that the family was not well off, so it was hard to save some money to see a doctor, and he had to hold his small bag everywhere. As the examination progressed, the spinal condition of the little patient scared us all, and things were not as simple as we thought. With a full-length X-ray of the spine, we found that the little patient had scoliosis along with poorly developed lumbar spine. The next MRI and CT further verified our judgment, showing a mass of abnormal signal in the lumbosacral region, highly suspicious of lipoma or teratoma and the presence of a dural bulge. The MRI showed that the spinal cord did not move upward with growth, but was “tethered” to the distal end, and the nerves in the lumbar region were connected to the distal end like a bowstring, as if they might break at any time. The spinal cord embolism was immediately followed by a new finding on CT, where at some level, the dysplastic bone was stabbing the spinal cord from behind like a dagger! The diagnosis is now clear: lumbar scoliosis + lumbar dysplasia + dural spinal bulge + spinal cord embolism + teratoma to be excluded The surgery is not only necessary to release the spine, but also to deal with the corresponding deformity and decompress the spinal canal, which is a difficult and long operation. We hope that through this surgery, he will be able to walk with his back up and regain his confidence in life.
