Intraoperative view of scoliosis surgery. Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideways curve. The curve is usually "S"- or "C"-shaped. In some the degree of curve is stable, while in others it increases over time. Mild scoliosis does not typically cause problems, while severe cases can interfere with breathing. The cause of most cases is unknown but believed to involve a combination of geneticand environmental factors. It can also occur due to another condition such as muscles spasms, cerebral palsy, Marfan syndrome, and tumors such as neurofibromatosis. Diagnosis is confirmed with plain X-rays.

Here is a three years old male with poor physical build up having difficulty in holding his head properly, seeks support to get up while sits on ground. He is not able to perform activities like normal children of his age. CPK EMG ECG CXR and other relevant investigations are normal. Spine Muscular Dystrophy is ruled out in genetic evaluation (NGS) and muscle biopsy is not done yet. Here some pics and NGS report are attached. Please share your valuable views regarding what or how would be his lifespan and any treatment possibilities.
