NEURAL AXIS ABNORMALITIES IN EARLY ONSET SCOLIOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
Early onset scoliosis includes infantile idiopathic scoliosis, juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, and congenital scoliosis. The types of early onset scoliosis are neuromuscular scoliosis, syndromic scoliosis, and thoracic insufficiency syndrome. Spinal deformities in the growing spine may be observed alongside abnormalities of other organ systems, with neural axis abnormalities being one of the most common. The gold standard in the diagnosis of intraspinal abnormalities is MRI evaluation, and doctors dealing with scoliosis treatment should be cautious about the signs of asymptomatic neural axis abnormalities, in order to avoid the development of neurological deficit.
