Abstract

1. A family study of sixty-one children with infantile idiopathic scoliosis to determine the relationship of other developmental anomalies to the behaviour of the curve is reported.

2. Of the thirty-nine children with resolving curves only one had another defect.

3. Twelve out of twenty-two children with non-resolving curves had at least one other developmental anomaly.

4. The presence of such defects may indicate that the curve is likely to progress.
