Abstract

Spinal deformities in the growing spine can be associated with other organ system abnormalities; such associa- tion, which implies a greater-than-random tendency for abnormalities to occur together, can be attributable to many causes. Both spinal deformity and the other abnormalities can have the same origin, they can have a cause effect relationship in a reciprocal way and some- times no clear reason for this association could be iden- tified. The time of presentation may not be synchronous and, in many times, depends on the causal relationship.
