A 16-year-old boy who had been diagnosed previously as Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS), referred to our clinic with shoulder asymmetry for 1 year. Results of spine examination showed a 52° right thoracic curve at T3-T11. Surgery was planned, and T1-L1 posterior instrumentation and fusion were performed. After surgery, satisfactory correction was achieved, and during 10 years follow-up, the patient had no complaints. AAS is a X-linked genetic disorder with facial, genital, and skeletal manifestations. Scoliosis is not reported as a typical finding of AAS, and there is no reported case in the English literature. Due to mutation affecting the developing skeleton tissue, spinal deformities may develop. In our case, concave side fusion was seen at the deformity. Although we do not know any specific pattern of the scoliotic deformity of this syndrome, surgical correction of the deformity can be difficult because of the premature fusion at these levels.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.

Patients with Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) have short stature, facial anomalies, skeletal deformities, and genitourinary malformations. FYVE, RhoGEF, and PH domain-containing 1 (FGD1) is the only known causative gene of AAS. However, the diagnosis of AAS remains difficult, and specific treatments are still absent.

Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is characterized by different facial, skeletal and genital anomalies and may have oral manifestations. A 7-year-old boy was referred to the University General Hospital for treatment of speech difficulties and frequent regurgitation. Characteristics such as a triangle-shaped face, hypertelorism, low-set ears, flattened nose, shawl scrotum and partial syndactylia on hands and feet were observed.
