Early onset scoliosis includes infantile idiopathic scoliosis, juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, and congenital scoliosis. The types of early onset scoliosis are neuromuscular scoliosis, syndromic scoliosis, and thoracic insufficiency syndrome. Spinal deformities in the growing spine may be observed alongside abnormalities of other organ systems, with neural axis abnormalities being one of the most common. The gold standard in the diagnosis of intraspinal abnormalities is MRI evaluation, and doctors dealing with scoliosis treatment should be cautious about the signs of asymptomatic neural axis abnormalities, in order to avoid the development of neurological deficit. Erken başlangıçlı skolyoz infantil idiopatik skolyoz, juvenil idiopatik skolyoz ve konjenital skolyozu kapsar. Nöromusküler skolyoz, sendromik skolyoz ve torasik yetersizlik sendromu da erken başlangıçlı skolyoz tipleridir. Büyüyen bir omurgada spinal deformiteler sıklıkla nöral aks anomalileri olmakla beraber diğer organ anomalileri ile birliktelik gösterebilirler. MR görüntülemenin intraspinal anomali değerlendirmesinde altın standart olmasına rağmen, skolyoz tedavisi ile ilgilenen bir hekimin asemptomatik nöral aks anomalileri belirtileri hakkında bilgi sahibi olması gerekir.
