Reduced Volumetric Bone Mineral Density of the Spine in Adolescent Rett Girls with Scoliosis

Reduced Volumetric Bone Mineral Density of the Spine in Adolescent Rett Girls with Scoliosis

In advanced Rett syndrome (RTT), limited or complete loss of ambulation, nutritional problems and scoliosis are unfavorable factors for bone mineral density (BMD). Still, there are few data available in this research area. Spinal quantitative computed tomography (QCT) allows an exact measurement of...
