Scoliosis with hyperkyphosis combines in 20% of cases with Scheuermann's disease, and is more frequent in males

چکیده
Background For most scoliosis cases, the etiology is uncertain. It’s possible, however, that a certain number of idiopathic scoliosis cases could be classified by known vertebral spine pathologies. It’s been described in the literature that idiopathic scoliosis is related to dorsal hypokyphosis, but the existence of scoliosis in which this doesn’t happen has been proved. Scheuermann’s (SCH) disease, in addition to hyperkyphosis, sometimes presents also average severity scoliosis. We wondered in how many cases a SCH disease, with a prevailing lateral component, would cause important scoliosis in association with hyperkyphosis.
