Background

The association between idiopathic scoliosis and intrinsic abnormalities of the spinal cord are well known. MRI is the most sensitive imaging modality available to diagnose an intraspinal anomaly. The use of a routine ‘screening MRI’ prior to scoliosis correction is controversial.

Purpose

This study sought to quantify the frequency of previously unidentified cord anomalies identified by a routine pre-operative MRI, in patients planned for surgical scoliosis correction.
