Estimation of the volume of
anterior horn of spinal cord.
[12,13] At pathologic examination shrinkage, necrosis and gliosis were found in the
anterior horns of the spinal cord from C5 to T1, particularly marked at C7 and C8.
AFP can include clinical syndromes caused by acute dysfunction of the
anterior horn cells (e.g., acute flaccid myelitis), peripheral motor nerves or nerve roots (e.g., Guillain-Barre syndrome), neuromuscular junction (e.g., botulism or myasthenic crisis), or muscle (e.g., acute myopathies) (3,4).
Males with pronotum variable but never with
anterior horn or swelling; females without clypealfrontal carina, and with pronotum evenly convex ...
The distances between anterior and posterior horns were determined using the internal face of Vernier Calliper which was placed between the apex of the
anterior horn and the apex of the posterior horn (Figure 2).
Patients, who are mostly middle-age, develop a progressive myelopathy which at the early stage of the disease often mimics a polyradiculopathy or
anterior horn cell disorder.
Acute poliomyelitis is a disease of the
anterior horn motor neurons of the spinal cord and brain stem caused by poliovirus.
Normal measurements of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus may vary, but the posterior horn is usually much larger than the
anterior horn (the posterior horn usually measures 12 mm to 16 mm in the sagittal plane in an adult), and approximately twice the size of the
anterior horn on sagittal magnetic resonance (MR) images.
Indeed, cerebellar cortex inhibits strongly cerebellar nuclei, which themselves stimulate contralateral motor cortex and ipsilateral
anterior horn of the spinal cord.
Another experimental study suggests that kyphotic angle leads to flattening of the cord over the deformity thereby causing demyelination of anterior funiculus, neuronal loss and atrophy of
anterior horn and decreased vascularity at the ventral side of compressed spinal cord [12].
