Re: Question regarding resolving Infantile Scoliosis

[Guest guest]

Hi,there is an article by Mehta Management of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (in files section of the group: infantile scoliosis treatment/files/).The article is about juvenile scoliosis but there is also part about resolving infantile scoliosis.According to article most of the resolving scoliosis fully resolve by the age of 2 to 3 years (18-24 months since detection). But sometime the resolution is slower and it resolves by the age of 5-7 (and even 12). In article it is called "late resolving".MP From: <davelainer@...> infantile scoliosis treatment Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 6:42 AM Subject: Question regarding resolving Infantile Scoliosis

Hi,

I'm curious, I have read that many or most cases of Infantile Scoliosis cure themselves. At what age does this generally happen if it is going to?

Thanks.

The resolving cases are typically low numbers as well.  I have 2 boys with infantile, 1 resolved and 1 was casted.  The one who progressed had lots of rotation, a high RVAD, and a 47 degree curve.  The resolving one had 0 rotation an RVAD of 0 and a curve of about 15.  So very different presentation.

I have one boy - Cole as well - who was in a similar situation. He has a lot of rotation, and a 50 degree curve. We have done 3 casts and are currently starting to brace. Cole's rotation was worked on a lot in the cast - I just hope the brace continues to hold it. We need to ensure that we are going with the doctor's best call, and cross our fingers I suppose.

Thanks MP, and Stacee for your replies to my post. I appreciate the

article MP. and Stacee, I am curious as to how much rotation your boys

had?

Thanks.

My daughter had 18 degree curve at 3 months and 53 degree curve at 11 mos. what concerned my doctor was the percent increase in 8 mos. Our little Addie got a cast last Tuesday. My advice is to keep a close eye on it and go to a doctor that specializes in IS and is familiar with casting. By the way all of Addie's X-rays were done with her arms by her side. Good luck.

My older son had quite a bit of rotation.  I don't know any numbers however. It is gone now.  well applied casts should address the rotation. Jenn On Sun, Jul 29, 2012 at 7:12 PM, <davelainer@...> wrote:

Its my understanding that most will resolve before age 2...usually sooner.

Good point, Jenn. I dont think we've seen a curve with rotation

spontaneously resolve.
