STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. PURPOSE: To determine the role of routine preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect the incidence and risk factors for @entity154 in @entity1 with @entity2112 . OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: The incidence and risk factors for @entity154 in @entity1 with @entity2112 are controversial, and the indications for preoperative MRI in these @entity1 vary among centers. METHODS: Information on @entity1 with @entity2112 who were surgical candidates over 10 years (age at presentation, sex, magnitude and apex of major curve, @entity154 detected by MRI, and neurological examination results) were recorded, the @entity1 were grouped according to the @entity154 , and the data were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 271 @entity1 with @entity2112 , 27 had @entity854 (9.9%). Of these 27 @entity1 , 14 (52%) underwent a neurosurgical procedure. Significant differences were observed in the frequency of @entity66 onset and male sex (p<0.05) between the group of @entity1 with @entity854 on preoperative MRI and those who did not have a @entity602 . No difference was detected in the magnitude or direction of the curve. CONCLUSIONS: @entity854 in @entity1 with @entity2112 and a normal neurological examination were highly frequent (9.9%). Missing these abnormalities before surgery could inflict @entity260 . The incidence of @entity854 was higher in male @entity1 and in those with early onset disease. Thus, MRI is essential for all @entity1 with @entity2112 who require medical intervention.
