Abstract

Early onset scoliosis (EOS) is a less common but often progressive scoliosis subtype. The etiology of EOS can vary, and diagnoses include infantile idiopathic scoliosis (IIS - diagnosed through 3 years of age), juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS - diagnosed between 4 and 10 years of age), neuromuscular, congenital, neurofibromatosis (NF), thoracogenic, and syndromic scoliosis (Marfan, etc.).
