Scoliosis affects around 60% of Marfan patients and may progress rapidly during growth spurts, leading to marked deformity, pain and restricted ventilatory deficit. The purpose of this paper is to describe a 13-year-old female patient with Marfan syndrome and surgical treatment of scoliosis. The results indicate that posterior-only surgery with instrumented fixation and fusion is effective and safe for the treatment of scoliosis in selected patients with Marfan syndrome.}, number={10}, journal={European Scientific Journal, ESJ}, author={Taboridze, Iamze and Aladashvili, Lali and Vardzukashvili, Irakli}, year={2017}, month={Jan.} }
