Normal electroencephalograms in idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract

Twenty-five children with idiopathic scoliosis and without known neurologic disease and 25 age- and sex-matched controls had a standard electroencephalogram (EEG) performed and scrutinised blind. The EEGs were normal in the 25 children with idiopathic scoliosis and 24 controls were normal. Our study does not support the view that idiopathic scoliosis has a central neurologic cause.
