"Body-brace" oesophagitis, a complication of kyphoscoliosis therapy
Lancet (London, England)
|August 26, 1978
Abstract:
Oesophagitis developed in 4 patients, 3 of whom had scoliosis braces and 1 a body cast after surgery for kyphoscoliosis. Symptoms varied from chronic epigastric pain to gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Prophylaxis of oesophageal disease in children undergoing correction of scoliosis may prevent severe oesophagitis.
