Abstract

Cobb in 1950 stated that a high proportion of scolioses, classified as idiopathic, may be due to neurofibromatosis. This paper describes a retrospective study of a series of 3209 scoliosis cases to determine the incidence of neurofibromatosis. It was found to be just over 3 per cent. Two different clinical pictures of scoliosis were seen among the neurofibromatosis cases.
