Clinical Review

Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis

Author and Disclosure Information

This review of infantile idiopathic scoliosis highlights the clinical features, etiology, epidemiology, and treatment considerations that clearly distinguish this entity from the more common diagnosis of juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. A comprehensive understanding of infantile idiopathic scoliosis provides the basis for reliable prediction of those curves that are likely to spontaneously resolve and those that will relentlessly progress if left untreated.
