title: Rib displacement threatening the spinal cord in a scoliotic child with neurofibromatosis.
abstract: About 30% of children with neurofibromatosis are affected by scoliosis usually due to bony dysplasia and/or neurogenic tumors. We report the case of a scoliotic girl with type 1 neurofibromatosis presenting with a costovertebral dislocation at the apex of the spinal curvature.
