The case reports of 5 children with scoliosis provoked by painful vertebral lesions of osteoid osteoma and eosinophilic granuloma reveal that the final outcome of the deformity is determined by the interaction of 2 factors: the age of the child (in relation to his growth velocity); the duration of symptoms. Complete resolution in 2 children with scoliosis of 10 months' and one year's duration respectively, and partial regression of a curve which has been present for 6 years in another child draws attention to the fact that spontaneous correction of structural scoliosis can and does occur in a growing child. In the light of this and other evidence it is suggested that early idiopathic scoliosis could possess the potential for spontaneous correction.
5例因骨样骨瘤和嗜酸性肉芽肿的疼痛性椎体病变引发脊柱侧弯的儿童病例报告显示，畸形的最终结果由两个因素的相互作用决定：儿童的年龄（与其生长速度相关）；症状持续时间。两名分别患有10个月和1年脊柱侧弯的儿童完全康复，另一名儿童存在6年的侧弯曲线部分消退，这提请人们注意一个事实，即结构性脊柱侧弯在生长中的儿童中能够且确实会自发矫正。鉴于此及其他证据，有人提出早发性特发性脊柱侧弯可能具有自发矫正的潜力。
