The aims of this study were (1) to determine the rate of ' @entity2112 associated with @entity854 of the posterior cerebral fossa (PCF), spinal canal (SC) or central nervous system (CNS), and (2) to identify any clinical, @entity16 , radiological curve pattern or other variable which could justify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as complementary study. Fifty-six @entity1 with juvenile and @entity1615 , were prospectively evaluated with MRI of the PCF and SC. All the @entity1 were categorized into four different groups according to neuro-anatomical abnormalities on MRI (groups A, B, C and D). Eleven @entity1 (19.6%) presented @entity854 of the PCF and SC (group A), four @entity1 (7.1%) presented pathological conditions of the CNS (group B) and three @entity1 (5.4%) presented anomalies at the osseous spine and abdomen (group C). The remaining 38 @entity1 (67.9%) presented with normal MRI results (group D). Of the @entity1 in group A, 81.8% were neurologically normal. In this group, the right and left thoracic curve patterns were seen in the same number of @entity1 (four of 11 each). Early diagnosis of @entity854 of the PCF, SC and CNS could be achieved in 26.7% of cases (groups A and B). The most significant finding was the chronological age: 36.4% of @entity1 in group A were under the age of 11 years. In addition, it would be recommended that in @entity1 with @entity1635 and a surgical indication, MRI results should be to take into consideration as a complementary preoperative evaluation because four of 15 @entity1 (26.7%) with an indication for spinal fusion and who were neurologically normal, sustained some of the conditions included in groups A and B.
