t Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) syndrome is an uncommon condition caused by mechanical obstruction of the distal third of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta. SMA syndrome is associated with both operative and non-operative corrections of scoliosis, as well as anorexia nervosa, severe weight loss, tumors, burns, and other traumas.[1-4] We report an unusual case of SMA syndrome following corrective surgery for scoliosis in which post-operative gastric distension caused duodenal compression that subsequently resolved with gastric decompression, as opposed to the conventional, reverse series of events in which SMA syndrome causes the gastric dilatation.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common clinical entity that affects approximately 2-3% of children and adolescents. AIS is defined as a curvature of the spine > 10 degrees and it usually presents as a right thoracic curve. Only a small fraction of patients with AIS go on to surgical intervention. This article will review the role of rehabilitation in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, specifically as related to the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative care of patients with AIS.
