Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Scoliosis: SEPs in Chicken with Experimentally Induced Scoliosis and in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1994
We studied somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in 20 chickens with experimentally induced scoliosis after pinealectomy and in 100 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. We also studied 20 chickens without scoliosis and 20 healthy youngsters. In the chickens, SEPs after leg stimulation was significantly delayed in the scoliosis group compared to the ...
