Abstract
The paper presents results of long-term (12 and 18 years) follow- up after the treatment of two patients with severe kyphoscoliosis in neurofibromatosis type 1 who underwent anterior spinal fusion with application of pedicled vascularized rib autograft. Surgery provided the graft convertion into a regenerate having a form of a support column. At the final follow-up a correction of hyperkyphosis was maintained in both cases, and scoliosis progressed in one patient.
