The most common cause of scoliosis is idiopathic (80% of cases); however, it may be associated with neuromuscular conditions, skeletal dysplasia, or congenital spinal deformity.15 Scoliosis is classified as early onset when diagnosed before the age of 10 years.15 Scoliosis is often diagnosed by ...
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve. It often is diagnosed in children—perhaps during a growth spurt or in and around the time of puberty. However, it can be associated with other conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, infection
Some cases are mild, but severe scoliosis can be associated with conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, affecting how a person stands and their overall health. This guide looks at what causes scoliosis, its symptoms, and the treatment options available. It highlights how ...
Syndromic scoliosis is associated with a disorder of the neuromuscular, skeletal, or connective tissue systems; neurofibromatosis; or other important medical condition. Idiopathic scoliosis has no known cause and can be subdivided based on ... F Altaf,A Gibson,Z Dannawi,... - 《British Medical ...
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: As the population ages, the incidence of degenerative spine conditions increases. More patients are being diagnosed with and treated for spinal deformities, including scoliosis. METHODS: We examined dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry lumbar spine images of 3185 individuals ≥...
history of scoliosis increases the risk. Contrary to some beliefs, scoliosis is not caused by poor posture or carrying loads on the back. Adult onset scoliosis is typically caused by asymmetric disc degeneration where one side of the spine experiences degenerative conditions more than the other....
Common conditions associated with NMS include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophies, and spinal cord injuries. NMS is a progressive condition that worsens during periods of rapid growth. As the child grows and their muscles weaken, the spinal curve will become more pronounced. If a...
"Congenital" scoliosis (CS) due to malformations in vertebrae is frequently associated with other birth defects. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the genetic basis of both conditions. There is evidence that both conditions are etiologically related. A 2-day conference ...
Pediatricians' ability to recognize scoliosis and associated findings early can make a tremendous difference in outcome. The authors take you step by step through a spinal examination and review conditions in the differential diagnosis. ... KR Chin,JS Price,S Zimbler - 《Contemporary Pediatrics》 被...
If the person is less than 3 years old, it is called infantile idiopathic scoliosis (or early-onset, which is associated with other problems like chest wall deformities, spina bifida, and others). Scoliosis that develops between 3 and 10 years of age is called juvenile idiopathic scoliosis. ...
