From: Spontaneous correction of scoliosis after curettage of spinal osteoid osteoma: How and when?
A 13-years-old male patient complained of back pain. X-rays demonstrated a 40° right thoracic scoliosis and a 28° left lumbar scoliosis (a) and normal sagittal alignment (b); CT demonstrated the nidus was located at right lamina (c), and MR showed edema around nidus (d); Thoracic scoliosis improved to 20°, and lumbar scoliosis improved to 8° at 3-month after surgery (e). Sagittal alignment was unchanged (f). Two-year follow-up X-rays showed that thoracic scoliosis was reduced to 16°, and lumbar scoliosis to 4° (g). No change of sagittal alignment was observed (h)
