SIGNIFICANCE OF PERINATAL ANAMNESIS FOR DETERMINATION OF TREATMENT PLAN AND SUBSEQUENT NEUROLOGICAL PROGNOSIS FOR CHILDREN WITH ANOMALY CHIARI 1
The injuries of the cervical spine injury craniovertebral transition, involving in pathological process of vertebral arteries or the spinal cord can cause obstetric benefits as pathological and normal birth. In this article the authors evaluate the effects generic posttraumatic changes soft tissues of the cervical spine in the development of vascular disorders in the field craniovertebral transition. For this study, 112 patients with Chiari anomaly 1, received conservative and surgical treatment, were examined. Children from 2 to 18 years were divided into two groups: the 1st group - children (55 patients) without surgical treatment, and the 2nd group of children after decompressive trepanation about Chiari anomaly 1. Common neurological status, anatomy and function of blood vessels at the level craniovertebral transition were assessed in all children. Perinatal anamnesis, including: cesarean section, rapid delivery, entanglement neck child’s umbilical cord, and use of obstetric benefits in the form of application of forceps and receive "squeezing", was studied. Changes in the normal course of delivery, pointing to birth trauma level craniovertebral transition were noted in 96 patients (85,7%). This fact may have prognostic value in the treatment and follow-up care of children with Chiari anomaly 1.
