Clinical features of the "rigid spine" syndrome

Abstract

The "rigid spine" syndrome is a rare disease of neurological origin, the etiology and pathogenesis of which have not yet been fully studied. The "rigid spine" syndrome in children is accompanied by non-rough postural disorders that resemble the "flexor pose" in patients with parkinsonism. As a result of the pathological influence, the patient's motor activity sharply decreases. To confirm the final diagnosis of the child, doctors conduct a study of the existing clinical picture and the results of electrophysiological research methods. The clinical case presented by us clearly demonstrates the importance of personalized medicine for establishing  such complex diagnoses as rigid spine syndrome.
