Scoliosis in myelomeningocele

Acta Orthopaedica, 1988
Prevalence, type, and magnitude of scoliosis were studied in 163 patients with myelomeningocele. A scoliosis was diagnosed in 143 of them, congenital in 15 percent of the cases and developmental in the remaining patients. The severity of scoliosis increased with age and was more severe the higher the level of the neurologic deficit.
