Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Cerebral Asymmetry

Abstract

In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the organization of the entire brain was more strongly lateralized than in subjects without scoliosis. It is unlikely that this caused or was caused by the spinal curvature. Subjects with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis showed generalized asymmetry of many functions and structures. An examination at the level of morphology and development is proposed.
