A Case Report of Severe Kyphoscoliosis and Autofusion of the Posterior Elements in Two Siblings With Central Core Disease

Abstract: A diagnosis of central core disease must be considered in patients presenting with severe spinal deformity and myopathic symptoms. This spinal deformity may be progressive and become severe. Surgical intervention in these cases may be complicated by posterior element autofusion necessitating alteration in surgical technique to correct the deformity. Despite the risk of malignant hyperthermia, surgery may be performed safely.

Many patients have marked hypermobility of the joints, ligamentous laxity, occasionally associated with patellar instability, whereas contractures are rare.…”
