Abstract
We present a case of a 49-year-old woman with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and severe
scoliosis. Based on current knowledge, we think that co-occurrence of scoliosis and ADPKD is nonrandom
in our case, and we hypothesize that scoliosis should be considered a part of clinical picture of ADPKD.
