| Abstract |
Segmental spinal dysgenesis is a rare spinal deformity that is the result of failure of formation resulting in some cases spondyloptosis and neurological dysfunction usually at the thoracolumbar junction. There is little known concerning surgical intervention and timing in these patients. The goal of this case report is to present a case involving 14 months old diagnosed with segmental spinal dysgenesis with stenosis at the thoracolumbar junction soon after birth, treated with definitive posterior spinal fusion and subsequent follow-up. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2017.
All research outputs
#14,860,134
of 22,886,568 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#880
of 2,765 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,208
of 330,061 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#18
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,886,568 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,765 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,061 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
