Abstract/OtherAbstract:
STUDY DESIGN: A case report of scoliosis secondary to cerebrocosto-mandibular syndrome. OBJECTIVES: To bring about awareness of the scoliosis and respiratory problems associated with this rare syndrome. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Of the approximately 50 cases of this syndrome previously reported, only 3 involved scoliosis, and only 1 of these required surgery (but the patient expired). METHODS: A retrospective chart was made, and a radiologic review were done. RESULTS: A successful surgical outcome was achieved, despite severe preoperative curvature (112 degrees scoliosis) and diminished pulmonary function (21% vital capacity). CONCLUSION: This syndrome can be associated with progressive scoliosis but can be managed successfully with surgery.
