Description: Scoliosis is one of the most commonly encountered pediatric spinal deformities. Knowledge of comorbid disorders associated with scoliosis is required in order to rule out other serious conditions. A thorough knowledge of the clinical scenarios associated with each of these disorders will help guide the pediatric practitioner in their work-up of associated conditions and possible further referrals. The aim of this review is to discuss the comorbidities associated with scoliosis and review appropriate screening tools aiding diagnosis.
