Boys with Idiopathic Infantile Scoliosis

[Guest guest]

all of " The studies " point to True Idiopathic Infantile scoliosis

being rare in Boys in the US. Who knows about this topic? Do you have

a son with Idiopathic infantile scoliosis, have they had a MRI?

My name is Cassie my son he has a 38 degree thoracic curve

diagnosed at 9 months with a 32 degree curve he is almost 5. FYI I

have scoliosis too. has been under the care of a Pediatric

orthopedist as well as a Orthotist since he was 9 months.

I have been apart of the group for a long time now, I don't post much.

But I read your posts & the information & encouragement in the group

has been great!

Thanks

I re- read your email and, yes, my son has been Dx. with Idiopathic Infantile Scoliosis. We had a Dr. at UCLA, say, I believe what you are suggesting that true IIS is so rare that it must be Congenital, but when we had all of these tests...there is no evidence of any spine/heart/kidney malformation his Dx. is IIS. ~krista
