MR analysis of regional brain volume in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Neurological manifestation of a systemic disease

To investigate whether regional brain volumes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients differ from matched control subjects as AIS subjects are reported to have poor performance on combined visual and proprioceptive testing and impaired postural balance in previous studies.
