What are the Types of Scoliosis? |
|
|
|
In children with congenital scoliosis, there is a known
increased incidence of other congenital anomalies. The most
common associated anomalies affect the spinal cord (20%), the
genitourinary system (20% to 33%), and the heart (10% to 15%). |
|
|
|
Since scoliosis can run in families, a child who has a parent,
brother, or sister with idiopathic scoliosis should be checked
regularly for scoliosis by the family physician. |
|
|
|
NEUROMUSCULAR SCOLIOSIS:
|
|
|
|
Neuromuscular scoliosis encompasses scoliotic spine deformities that are secondary to neurological or muscular diseases. Etiologies of this type of scoliosis include cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy. |
|
|
|
|
In 80 to 85 percent of people, the cause of scoliosis is unknown; this is called idiopathic scoliosis. |
