[The Details of Thermoesthesia-and-Algesthesia State in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis of III-IV Degree].

Sensitivity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis remains insufficiently studied. The details of thermoesthesia-and-algesthesia state were studied in adolescent patients with III-IV Degree idiopathic scoliosis. Thermoesthesia-and-algesthesia was evaluated in Th1-S1 dermatomes on the right and on the left using an electric esthesiometer.

[Thoracal insufficiency syndrome in congenital scoliosis].

We analyzed literature data and our own experience with treatment of 180 patients under 7 years of age during the period of 1990-2010. To demonstrate the resources of surgical correction of spinal and thoracic deformities in children with severe deformities of the spinal column and thoracic cage we propose a rational strategy of operative correction and postoperative management for children of early age depending on the variations of malformation.
