Abstract

The aim of this article was to emphasize how to manage children with sacral dermal sinus tracts and the important aspects of surgery. In all of the 5 children operated because of dermal sinus tracts between 2005 and 2009 the tracts had lied to the dural sac, attached to the filum terminale, and caused tethered cord. The tracts were followed and the laminectomy was performed at the entrance point to the spinal canal. After opening the dura, the point at which tract tied was identified and released by cutting. Additionally nevre roots around the region were released by cleaning from arachnoid adhesions and fibrous bands. Dermoid tumor and spinal lipoma were removed from intradermal region in two patients. No complications were observed in any patients. The level of conus medullaris relatively rose in 3 patients during the follow-up. Sacral dermal sinus tracts in children are important pathologies that require meticulous evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging should absolutely be performed. Surgical treatment should be performed if the sacral dermal sinus tracts cause tethered cord syndrome. The sinus tract should be followed until the dura and intradural region, and released from the attachment place in these cases. The sacral rootlets should be released from the surrounding arachnoid and fibrous bands during surgery.

Özet

Bu makaledeki amacımız sakral bölgede dermal sinüs traktı olan çocuklara nasıl yaklaşım gösterilmesi ve cerrahide nelere dikkat edilmesini vurgulamaktır. Sakral dermal sinüs traktı nedeniyle 2005 ile 2009 yılları arasında ameliyat edilen 5 çocuk hastanın tümünde trakt intradural alanda filuma veya fibröz bandlara yapışarak gergin omuriliğe neden oluyordu. Bu olgularda dermal sinüs traktları izlenerek spinal kanala giriş noktalarından laminektomi yapıldı. Dura açıldıktan sonra traktın yapıştığı nokta bulundu ve kesilerek omurilik serbestleştirildi. Ayrıca çevredeki sinir kökleri de araknoid yapışıklıklardan ve fibröz bandlardan temizlenerek serbestleştirildi. İki olguda intradural bölgedeki dermoid tümör ve spinal lipom çıkarıldı. Hiçbir olguda komplikasyon gelişmedi. Olguların takiplerinde 3 hastada konus seviyesinin tedrici olarak yükseldiği görüldü. Sakral dermal sinüs traktları çocuklarda dikkatli incelenmesi gereken patolojilerdir. Mutlaka manyetik rezonans incelemesi yapılmalıdır. Sakral dermal sinüs traktları gergin omurilik sendromuna neden olduğu zaman mutlaka cerrahi tedavi uygulanmalıdır. Bu olgularda trakt dura ve intradural bölgeye dek takip edilerek, yapıştığı yerden serbestleştirilmelidir. Sakral sinir kökleri cerrahi sırasında araknoid ve fibröz yapışıklıklardan kurtarılmalıdır.
