Core Tip In thoracic scoliosis, computed tomography (CT)-based analysis demonstrated more pronounced respiratory impairment in non-idiopathic cases, particularly in those with neuromuscular involvement. Associations between spinal deformity and respiratory parameters varied between groups and should be interpreted as exploratory. Although surgical correction improved spinal alignment, CT-derived lung volumes did not show immediate postoperative improvement. However, selective enlargement of the left bronchus suggests a localized effect on airway compression. CT-based evaluation may provide useful complementary information, especially in patients unable to perform reliable pulmonary function testing.
