Abstract

Neuromuscular scoliosis is a spinal deformity, caused by disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and muscular system. Nerves and muscles are unable to maintain appropriate balance/alignment of the spine and trunk. Conservative and surgical treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis differs from idiopathic scoliosis, being more complex and with a higher complications rate.
