Popis:	We examined the spinal deformities in 9 patients who had osteogenesis imperfecta. The patients consisted of 4 males and 5 females, with a mean age of 6.7 years (range, 3 to 11 years) at the initial examination and a mean age of 18.9 years (range; 6 to 33 years) at the most recent examination. The mean period of follow-up was 12 years (range; 2.3 to 25.7 years). AT the time of the most recent follow-up, scoliosis was present in 8 patients (89 per cent), and kyphosis, in 4 (44 per cent). According to the Hanscom's classification, scoliosis progressed rapidly in patients who had D type osteogenesis imperfecta in certain biconcave vertebrae.
