Abstract Although Scheuermann's disease (juvenile dorsal kyphosis) is a common problem of late childhood and adolescence, its potential for neurological complications is not widely appreciated. In rare instances, spinal cord compression appears to be produced by the kyphotic protrusion alone, and we present an example of this unusual problem. Although the results of surgical treatment in this situation cannot be substantiated, anterior spondylotomy and decompression followed by posterior fixation appear to offer the best mechanical relief. Spinal cord compression can also be produced by extradural cysts, with which Scheuermann's disease is frequently associated. Scheuermann's disease also is reported to occur in combination with thoracic disc protrusion, but the coincidence here may be random. Pertinent literature is reviewed.
