Article Synopsis
- Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) is a rare genetic disorder causing joint issues and distinctive facial features, with two main types: lethal and nonlethal, both often leading to spine deformities like scoliosis.
- A study involved 12 patients from 11 families, with molecular diagnoses confirmed in seven, showing varying degrees of scoliosis severity, from mild to malignant.
- Treatment approaches included bracing and spine casting, but more severe cases may require non-fusion spinal instrumentation; ongoing monitoring is crucial for managing their condition.
