Popis: Early onset scoliosis can lead to significant chest wall deformity resulting in severe restrictive pulmonary disease and premature demise. Treatment of the spinal deformity should control the curvature but allow for continued growth of the spine and thorax. Serial derotational casting can potentially preserve and redirect spinal growth to achieve curve correction.
