Developmental Anomalies of Vertebral Column: A Comparative Osteological Study between Coastal Odisha and Western Odisha Population.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: To Study And Compare Different Types Of Vertebral Anomalies Between Two Socioeconomically And Culturally Different Populations Of Odisha. Background: Vertebral Anomalies Are Multifactorial In Origin. Factors Responsible For Development Of Vertebral Abnormalities Are Alcohol, Retinoic Acid And Oral Contraceptive Pills. The Teratogenic Effect Of These Factors On Vertebral Development Has Been Studied By Many Authors. Deficiency Of Folic Acid Is One Of The Leading Causes Of Neural Tube Defect. There Are Genes Controlling The Development Of Vertebra And Failure Of Expression Of These Genes Lead To Vertebral Anomalies. Our Study Is An Attempt To Compare The Incidence Of Vertebral Anomalies Between Two Socioeconomically And Culturally Different Population And Find Out Possible Factors Responsible For The Difference. Methods: We Collected All The Vertebrae Preserved In The Anatomy Department Of S.C.B. Medical College, Cuttack And V.S.S. Institute Of Medical Science And Research (Vimsar, Burla). Cuttack Is Situated In Coastal Odisha And Burla Belongs To Western Odisha. The Natives Of Western Odisha Constitute High Proportion Of Tribals Who Are Socioeconomically And Culturally Backward To Coastal Odisha Population. We Excluded Vertebrae With Incomplete Ossification And Vertebrae Showing Gross Pathological Changes. We Studied The Congenital Defects Like Block Vertebrae, Sacralisation And Spina Bifida. We Compared The Incidence Of Both The Samples And Made A Statistical Analysis To Know Whether The Difference Is Statistically Significant. Result: The Incidence Of Congenital Vertebral Defects Was High In The Vertebrae Of Western Odisha Population. The Difference Was Statistically Significant (P Value-0.05). Conclusion: Regular Consumption Of Country Liquor Which Is A Usual Practice Among Tribal Women Could Be A Cause Of High Incidence Of Block Vertebrae And Sacralisation. Dietary Deficiency Of Folic Acid Might Be Responsible For High Incidence Of Spina Bifida. To Rule Out Some Genetic Association A Genetic Study Of This Population Will Be Helpful.
