What the doctors documented
The medical report describes neuromuscular thoracolumbar scoliosis of approximately 90 degrees in a child with severe spastic motor impairment. This is a major spinal deformity, not a cosmetic concern.
What 90 degrees means
At this level of curvature, the trunk can become increasingly unbalanced. Positioning, sitting and respiratory mechanics can become more difficult as the deformity progresses.
The consultation was not only a “yes” to surgery
The team also identified the preparation needed before an operation: detailed imaging, anesthesia assessment, interdisciplinary review and attention to Sofia’s nutritional status.
Nutrition is part of the plan
Sofia has had a history of malnutrition and feeding difficulty. Her gastrostomy and the family’s work to improve weight are therefore directly connected to surgical readiness.
What happens next
The family must complete the preoperative stage in Switzerland and continue daily treatment at home while fundraising for the medical costs, travel and accommodation.
