This paper is the report of three cases of spinal deformities connected to a paravertebral ganglioneuroma: The first case was discovered during the anterior approach of a thoracic scoliosis of more than 100 degrees at the age of twelve; the child had been treated before the age of one year for a thoracic neuroblastoma; eleven years after removal of the ganglioneuroma and fusion of the spinal curve, the evolution is satisfactory.
