Example Sentences:
(1) The most important differential diagnostic problems involve anencephaly with spinal retroflexion and the Klippel-Feil syndrome.
(2) Iniencephaly is a very rare malformation comprising a bone defect at the occiput, malformation of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, spina bifida, and retroflexion of the head.
(3) It is associated with a defect in the occiput, alterations in the spinal column that are variable and retroflexion of the fetus.
(4) Moreover, the authors provided evidence that the area of the dural sac diminishes significantly in retroflexion, as compared with the neutral position in subjects with a normal spinal canal as well as in subjects with congenital stenosis of the spinal canal.
(5) Because of our good results, we make a plea for expectant management of retroflexion of the pregnant uterus.
(6) It is suggested that for precision the term "spinal retroflexion" should be used after duly prefixing it by an appropriate word (severe, moderate or mild) indicating the degree of retroflexion observed.
(7) The findings show that retroflexion in this variant of anencephaly can be classified into severe, moderate and mild forms.
(8) Retroflexion of the head with exaggerated cervicothoracic lordosis is always present, and CNS malformations in the form of anencephaly, spina bifida and encephalocele are often present.
(9) It is discussed that, though the anencephalies with severe or moderate degree of cervical retroflexion resemble iniencephaly in their features of spinal retroflexion, those having mild retroflexion are contrasted and should not be categorised with iniencephaly.
(10) The incidence of retroflexion in holoprosencephaly was apparently higher than that of ordinary subdural hygromas.
(11) A frequent feature is pain on retroflexion of the head.
(12) Iniencephaly is a rare, lethal, axial dysraphic malformation complex diagnosed on the basis of three cardinal features: deficiency of the occipital bone, cervicothoracic spinal retroflexion, and rachischisis.
(13) Case analysis indicates that retroflexion results from subdural fluid collection.
(14) This fetus is especially interesting as it presents anencephaly, supporting the view of classifying together iniencephaly and anencephaly with retroflexion.
(15) Anteflexion and retroflexion movements of the cervical spine were recorded cineradiographically during three measuring sessions to determine reproducibility as well as intraindividual and interindividual variability of segmental instantaneous centers of rotation (recorded as "averaged" and "standard").
(16) The not viable, female newborn had a malformation causing an extremely retroflexion of the head.
(17) No explanation could be found for this persisting retroflexion during pregnancy.
(18) Fetal eye, mouth, rotation, and retroflexion of the head were observed by real-time ultrasound.
(19) The objective of the presented work was to investigate anatomical structures of the cervial spine and their interrelations on cervical myelograms in a neutral position and in retroflexion.
(20) The area of the dural sac increases during anteflexion and diminishes in retroflexion, as compared with the neutral position.
