Abstract
In 1950 Cobb stated that a high proportion of scolioses, classified as idiopathic, may be due to neurofibromatosis. This paper describes a retrospective study of a series of 3209 scoliosis cases to determine the incidence of neurofibromatosis. It was just over 3%. Two clinical pictures of scoliosis were seen among the neurofibromatosis patients.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
