The inflammation associated with this disease can lead to decreased spinal extension, particularly in the thoracolumbar junction.
Cervical malformations arise from the anterior spinal artery and lie within the cord, whereas thoracolumbar malformations can be internal, external or encompass both areas of the cord.
Initially, stiffness occurs in the thoracolumbar paraspinal and abdominal muscles.
These activities may help with strength in the limbs and posture and will help to avert the problems of thoracolumbar kyphosis and spinal stenosis.
Clinical features include megalocephaly, short limbs, prominent forehead, thoracolumbar kyphosis and mid-facial hypoplasia.
Erector spin is covered in the lumbar and thoracic regions by the thoracolumbar fascia, and in the cervical region by the nuchal ligament.
It occurs most commonly in the cervical and thoracolumbar regions.
Reduced thoracolumbar fascia shear strain in human chronic low back pain.
As it elongates caudally, the pronephric duct induces nearby intermediate mesoderm in the thoracolumbar area to become epithelial tubules called mesonephric tubules.
