abstract = {Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with
scoliosis being the most common non-neurological
manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically
performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist
on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease. We
present a 38-year-old woman with late-stage Friedreich's
ataxia and pronounced thoracolumbar scoliosis (Cobb angle
48°) causing severe pain and limited sitting tolerance.
After posterior corrective spondylodesis (T4-ilium), she
reported marked improvements in pain, sitting tolerance,
function, and quality of life in the SF-36 questionnaire.
This case highlights the potential for substantial clinical
and functional benefits from scoliosis surgery in patients
with advanced Friedreich's ataxia.},
