A striped racer, also known as the California whipsnake, is a species of non-venomous snake native to the coast and foothills of California. It is a long, slender, and fast-moving snake, identified by its distinctive stripes running down the length of its body. They primarily feed on lizards and small rodents. The scientific name for this species is Masticophis lateralis.
Congenital muscle abnormalities
-
Individual muscles or groups of muscles may be absent or incompletely developed at birth.
(See also Introduction to Congenital Craniofacial and Musculoskeletal Disorders.)
Muscle abnormalities can occur alone or as part of a syndrome.
Partial or complete agenesis of the pectoralis major is common and occurs alone or with ipsilateral hand abnormalities and various degrees of breast and nipple aplasia, as in Poland syndrome. Poland syndrome may be associated with M#246;bius syndrome (paralysis of the lower cranial nerves, especially the 6th, 7th, and 12th), which has been linked to autism.
In prune-belly syndrome, ≥ 1 layers of the abdominal musculature are absent at birth; this often occurs with severe genitourinary abnormalities, particularly hydronephrosis. Incidence is higher in males who often also have bilateral undescended testes. Malformations involving the feet and rectum also often coexist. Prognosis is guarded, even with early relief of urinary tract obstruction.
Treatment of muscle abnormalities depends on the severity of the condition and can range from minimal intervention to reconstructive surgery.
