Altered cortical network in female with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective The aim of the study was to investigate abnormalities in the organization of the brain cortical network in patients with AIS based on MR data. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three dimensional spinal deformity that affects teenagers especially girls between the ages of 10-16 at prevalence of 1-4%. The etiopathogenesis remains uncertain but scientific studies have suggested it is a multifactorial disease included different intrinsic and extrinsic factors. A recent study has demonstrated the abnormal cortical thickness between patients with AIS and healthy controls. Cortical thickness is strongly correlated between regions that are axonally connected. Hence, the hypothesis of altered organization pattern of large-scale structural network in patients with AIS has been tested in this study.

Purpose: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities that affect chest wall mechanics. Scoliosis results in ventilator disorders and respiratory muscle weakness. However, the mechanism of these disorders is still unknown. The main objective of this study was to identify the intensity of respiratory muscles activity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis compare with healthy indi...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial disease affecting approximately 1-4% of teenagers especially girls at the age of 10-16, but its etiopathogenesis remains uncertain. Previous study has revealed that the cortical thickness in AIS patients is different from that in normal controls. Cortical thickness measurements are known to be strongly correlated between regions that are...

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may lead to physical and mental problems. It also can adversely affect patient satisfaction and the quality of life. In this study, we assessed the outcomes and satisfaction rate after surgical treatment of AIS using scoliosis research society-30 questionnaire (SRS-30).
