IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS:

|
|
CAUSES |
|
|
|
Idiopathic scoliosis refers to a spinal curve for which there is no discernible cause, and it typically occurs in children and adolescents who are otherwise healthy. In the last ten years, we have developed a better understanding of the causes of idiopathic scoliosis. The consensus at this time is that the causes is multifactorial. |
|
|
|
The importance of genetic factors in the development of idiopathic scoliosis has been widely accepted. Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of scoliosis is higher among individuals whose relatives have scoliosis than among the general population. A family history of scoliosis is identified in approximately 30% of patients diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. |

|
CONGENITAL SCOLIOSIS:
|
|
|
|
Congenital scoliosis results from embryological malformation
of one or more vertebrae and may occur in any location of
the spine. The vertebral anomalies cause curvature and other
deformities of the spine because they lead to differential

growth, i.e., one area of the spinal column lengthens at a slower
rate than the remainder. |
