Paraspinal ganglioneuromain an adolescent with painless scoliosis: Case report and literature review

Adolescent scoliosis secondary to ganglioneuroma is a rare entity with a clinical presentation mimicking adolescent idiopathic scoliosis that can lead to delayed or misdiagnosis. We present this case with a literature review to illustrate-the importance of careful evaluation of the clinical and radiological findings in reaching a proper, timely mannered-diagnosis. Clinical and radiological evaluation with a keen eye for signs of the atypical curve and radiological ab-normalities on plain films and getting more detailed imaging with CT and MRI would lead to earlier diagnosis of-secondary causes of scoliosis and direct proper treatment plan.
