Spinal Cord Injuries in Children
Abstract
Spinal Cord iniuries in children below the age of 15 year are considered very rare. Reviewing the 205 paraplegic and tetraplegic patients who had admitted tho the Gülhane Military Hospital, reported the admission of 9 children (excluding those due to poliomyelitis). But only 4 were due to traumatic lesions. A common clinical feature of the patients was that vertebral injury was minimal or absent. The spinal injured child has special needs owing to the prosesses of physical, mental and social growth. In addition to these, some other complications are oftenly associated with the condition. The goals of the rehabilitation programs should be prevention of spinal deformity, hip subluxation and dislication, long bone fractures and loss of strength and coordination.
