Trans-Sacral Epiduroscopic Laser Decompression (SELD) for the Treatment of Symptomatic Lumbar Disc Herniations (LDH): Single Center Experience of Clinical and Radiologic Results in Minimum 12-Months Follow-Up

Lumbar disc herniations represent one of the most common complications of degenerative disc disease in adults and have a favorable outcome with surgery. In children, on the other hand, disc prolapse is a relatively rare pathologic entity mandating cautious multimodal management. This paper presents the five-year long experience of a single pediatric neurosurgical unit and our management strategy for children diagnosed with lumbar disc prolapse.

Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis (CACP) syndrome, caused by biallelic pathogenic mutations in the <i>PRG4</i> gene, is characterized by early-onset camptodactyly, noninflammatory arthropathy, coxa vara deformity, and rarely, pericardial effusion. Herein, we report 3 patients with CACP syndrome from 2 unrelated families. All patients are female, born to consanguineous parents, and had camptodactyly since the first years of their lives. Two patients had a prior diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Hip changes were present in 2 patients, and 2 of 3 patients had undergone surgery for camptodactyly. Routine echocardiographic evaluations were normal during the 2-year follow-up. This paper represents the third study including CACP patients from Turkey. Clinically, all 3 patients resembled juvenile idiopathic arthritis cases and received unnecessary medication. There is also an ongoing need for improving awareness of CACP and an effective treatment focusing on the lubrication of the joint space in CACP patients.
