Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods for Early Scoliosis Treatment in Coffin-Siris Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review

We present the case of an 8-year-old female with CSS presenting with a progressive, rigid thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis. She was successfully treated with a magnetically controlled growing rod, demonstrating improved ambulatory capacity and performance of activities of daily living. In pediatric patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome, magnetic expandable rods can be considered as an option for the management of progressive early-onset scoliosis.
