چکیده
From the time of the initial definition of infantile idiopathic scoliosis as an entity (James 1951) it has been appreciated that in many infants with this scoliosis spontaneous resolution occurs in the first years of life. There is, however, a smaller but much more important group in which seemingly identical curves progress relentlessly, perhaps to 150 degrees, causing one of the severest forms of scoliosis and frequently premature death from cor pulmonale (Scott and Morgan 1955).
