What Is That In Her Mouth?
Discussion
Exostoses are dense cortical nodular osseous structures that are benign but which can cause problems due to size or location. The tissue grows outward from the bone. Long bone locations are common.
Bone spurs are a common exostosis that is specifically an osteophyte as it occurs along a joint margin. Enthesophytes are benign bony projections from the tendon or ligament insertion.

What Are Cutaneous Lesions Associated with Occult Spinal Dysraphism?
Discussion
Neural tube defects are a group of disorders that arise during embryogenesis. They include anenephaly, exencephaly, meningmyelocoeles and encephalocoeles and other malformations including occult spinal dysraphism. Occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) has incomplete fusion of the midline elements of the spine including the bony, neural, and mesenchymal tissues but the abnormalities are covered by skin (ectodermal tissues) and therefore are not obvious. OSD has a higher risk of tethered spinal cord syndrome or other neurological/neurosurgical problems.
Normally the caudal end of the spinal cord, the conus medullaris, ha...

Depending on the age, 2-4% of adolescents have a positive Adams Forward Bend Test when assessed and ~2% may have idiopathic scoliosis of > 10 degrees. Curve progression relates to the magnitude of the curve and the patient’s age.
