[Clinico-roentgenologic signs of osteo- and arthropathy in children with syringomyelia]. / Kliniko-rentgenologicheskie priznaki osteo- i artropatii u detei pri siringomielii.

Syringomyelia is a severe dysontogenetic lesion of the nervous system with polymorphous clinical and x-ray manifestations. The authors followed up 10 children aged 4-12 with osteo- and arthropathies, and presented a clinical and x-ray picture characterizing this process. They described in detail x-ray signs of this lesion over time and the formation of neoarthroses in the fracture areas, changes in zones of preliminary calcification and epiphyseal cartilage as well as in flat pelvic bones.
