Pathology Exam 1 - STUDY THIS ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Osteopetrosis an increase in bone density and defective bone contour
Osteopetrosis- Etiology genetic mutation that leads to missing or abnormal osteoclasts resulting in
abnormally dense and compact but brittle bones
, Osteopetrosis- sites of occurrence All bones are affected
- most significant in long bones of extremities, spine, pelvis, and base of the skull
Osteopetrosis- complications patient can endure broken bones, because they are very brittle
Osteopetrosis- prognosis no treatment or surgery for bone deformities
Osteopetrosis- radiographic appearance increased density and thickness of the cortex
Osteopetrosis- additive or destructive additive; increase technical factors (kVp)
Osteopetrosis- best seen radiographically
Scoliosis an abnormal lateral deviation from the spine
Structural scoliosis idopathic
Functional scoliosis due to things such as spinal cord injuries
Scoliosis- sites of occurrence T and L spine
Scoliosis- complications cardiopulmonary complications, because the pressure that is put on the thorax
from the increased curvature
- fatigue
- joint dysfunctional syndrome
Scoliosis- prognosis curvature between 25 and 30 degrees= back brace
curvature over 40 degrees= spinal fusion surgery
Scoliosis- radiographic appearance lateral convex curvature to the right in the t-spine and to the left in the lumbar
spine
