Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods for Early Scoliosis Treatment in Coffin-Siris Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review

Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS) is a rare, genetic syndrome characterized by multiple anomalies, including scoliosis. However, there are only a few reports about the management of scoliosis in these patients. We present the case of an 8-year-old female with CSS presenting with a progressive, rigid thora...

Zusammenfassung:Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS) is a rare, genetic syndrome characterized by multiple anomalies, including scoliosis. However, there are only a few reports about the management of scoliosis in these patients. We present the case of an 8-year-old female with CSS presenting with a progressive, rigid thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis. She was successfully treated with a magnetically controlled growing rod, demonstrating improved ambulatory capacity and performance of activities of daily living. In pediatric patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome, magnetic expandable rods can be considered as an option for the management of progressive early-onset scoliosis. Level of Evidence: V.
