She had no neurologic complaints. Her birth, medical, and developmental history were all unremarkable. Her father has a vague history of spinal curvature. PHYSICAL EXAM: Physical examination was significant for a moderate left thoracic rib prominence as well as absent abdominal reflexes in the upper and lower quadrants on the left side. XRAYS: A 24 degree left thoracic curve from T5 - Tl1 was noted on scoliosis spine films.With the asymmetric abdominal reflexes and high thoracic left curve she was sent for an MRI scan. This revealed a large syringomyelia with dilatation in the lower cervical and upper thoracic area. Also noted was an Arnold-Chiari malformation. TREATMENT: She was referred to a neurosurgeon who performed a posterior fossa decompression. She tolerated this well.

     Extractions: An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of scoliosis. Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. While the normal spine has gentle natural curves that round the shoulders and make the lower back curve inward, scoliosis typically involves a three-dimensional deformity of the spinal column and rib cage. To varying degrees, the spine curves from side-to-side, and some of the spinal bones may rotate slightly, making the hips or shoulders appear uneven. It may develop in the following way: Scoliosis most commonly develops in the thoracolumbar region, which is the area between the upper back (the thoracic area) and lower back ( lumbar area). It may also occur only in the upper back or lower back. The physician attempts to define scoliosis by the following characteristics: The shape of the curve.

     Extractions: Michael L. Richardson, M.D. patient with thoracic scoliosis, convex to the right, bridged by a Harrington rod and bone graft along the concave side of the spine If scoliosis is neglected, the curves may progress dramatically, creating significant physical deformity and even cardiopulmonary problems with especially severe curves. Currently, scoliosis is treated successfully by special braces, electrical stimulation, surgery, or by combinations of these three techniques. Generally, scoliosis is treated by orthopedic surgeons with special training in spinal problems. However, radiographic scoliosis examinations are ordered by a wide variety of other physicians, most of whom look toward the radiologist as the local musculoskeletal expert, after the orthopedist. Therefore, one must know how to read these films and how to dictate a coherent and helpful interpretation of them. A sample dictation of a typical examination is shown below: Standing AP and lateral views of the entire spine demonstrate an arcuate thoracolumbar scoliosis with a rightward convexity. No associated vertebral abnormalities are noted. Using the Cobb technique, and measuring from the top of the T9 and the bottom of the L3 vertebral bodies, this angle measures approximately 27 degrees. The apex of the curve is at the T12 vertebral body and demonstrates grade 3 out of 4 rotation to the right. Lateral bending films show persistence of the curvature with bending to the right and increased curvature with bending to the left. This indicates that the thoracolumbar curve is structural and major. The iliac apophyses are complete along the iliac crests, but have not yet fused with the ilium, indicating that the patient has not yet reached skeletal maturity.

Scoliosis occurs rarely in adults. Sometimes, it's a worsening of a condition that began in childhood but wasn't diagnosed or treated. In other cases, adult scoliosis may result from a degenerative joint condition in the spine. Usually scoliosis is painless. Most cases are mild, requiring only follow-up and observation. In more severe cases, the spine can rotate as well, resulting in prominent ribs on one side of the body and narrowed spaces between ribs on the other. Severe scoliosis can cause ongoing back pain and difficulty breathing. Surgery may be necessary. Signs and symptoms Signs of scoliosis may include: Causes Shape.

Normally, the spine is straight. With scoliosis, the spine is crooked and curves to the side. If the spine is very crooked, the ribs or hips may stick out more on one side than the other side. Also, one shoulder may be lower than the other. Scoliosis may begin in childhood but often is not noticed until the teenage years. In most cases, the exact cause of scoliosis isn't known. It seems to run in some families. Scoliosis is more common in girls than in boys. Return to top Look at your child's spine to see if it curves or if it is straight. Also check to see if one shoulder is lower than the other. Many public schools check for scoliosis in the 5 th or 6 th grade. Your doctor may also examine your child for scoliosis at a regular check-up. Your doctor may be able to tell if your child has scoliosis just by looking at your child's back when it is in different positions. Your doctor may have your child stand and bend over to touch the toes. Sometimes x-rays help show the curve in the spine.

     Extractions: Subscribe now >> Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, or backbone. The bones that make up the spine are called vertebrae. Some people who have scoliosis require treatment. Other people, who have milder curves, may only need to visit their doctor for periodic observation. The section "Does Scoliosis Have To Be Treated?" describes how doctors decide whether or not to treat scoliosis. People of all ages can have scoliosis, but this fact sheet focuses on children and adolescents. Of every 1,000 children, 3 to 5 develop spinal curves that are considered large enough to need treatment. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis of unknown cause) is the most common type and occurs after the age of 10. Girls are more likely than boys to have this type of scoliosis. 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.

R ecent research has led to a better understanding of the natural history of scoliosis. However, the optimal strategy for screening, diagnosing and treating this common spinal deformity remains controversial. Of adolescents diagnosed with scoliosis, only 10 percent have curve progression requiring medical intervention. The ability to estimate which curves require therapy has led to more appropriate treatment with observation, bracing or surgery. See editorial on page 32. Family physicians need to differentiate patients with stable or minimally progressive scoliosis who can be observed from patients with scoliosis that is at high risk for progression. They need to determine the patients they can follow and those who need referral to an orthopedic surgeon. Unnecessary referrals of adolescents with minimal scoliosis who are at low risk for progression can cause marked anxiety and lost time from school and work, and lead to unnecessary radiation exposure. Of adolescents diagnosed with scoliosis, only 10 percent have curve progression requiring medical intervention.

     Extractions: Symptoms AIS is most often discovered during a routine physical exam. Pain is not typical in teens with AIS, but if it occurs, more investigation should be done. AIS symptoms include: Causes and Risk Factors Females are at higher risk than males. Six to eight out of every 10 cases involve girls. Two to three percent of children between the ages of 10 and 16 have detectable AIS. Diagnosis A physical examination will indicate that the curve of the spine is more obvious when the child or teen bends forward. Most often the spine curves to the right in the upper back and to the left in the lower back, causing the right shoulder to be higher than the left. One hip may be more prominent than the other. X-rays taken at various angles while the child or teen is standing will also reveal the curves of the back. Treatment As early as possible after the condition has been diagnosed, the child or teen should be seen by an orthopedist. Treatment is directed at preventing more deformity, using a cast or brace or surgical correction.

     Extractions: Description Every spine has natural curves, which round the shoulders and make the lower back curve slightly inward. However, some people have spines that also curve from side to side. This condition of side-to-side spinal curves is called scoliosis. On an x-ray, the spine looks more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. Some of the bones in a scoliotic spine also may have rotated slightly, making the person's waist or shoulders appear uneven. Scoliosis affects a small percentage of the population, approximately 2%. However, scoliosis runs in families. If someone in a family has scoliosis, the likelihood of a incidence is much higher-approximately 20%. Although only 10% of those with scoliosis will need medical treatment, it's important for growing children to be checked periodically for any change. The vast majority of childhood scoliosis is " idiopathic " meaning its cause is unknown. It usually develops in middle or late childhood, before puberty, and is seen more often in girls than boys. Although scoliosis can occur in children with

     Extractions: December 14: Two days after my surgery. At 8:30 they brought me breakfast which was only jello and soup and other liquid things. I had a lot of visitors, but i didn't really want to talk because I was so tired. The nurse also had me sit up again, for a little longer this time. She washed me off with a washcloth and had me brush my teeth. Also, she helped me to stand up. After two seconds, I had to sit back down because I was dizzy. Later that night she had me walk a few steps but i couldn't even get to the door. I just walked a few steps and then turned around again. It exhausted me; I was so tired. They gave my a special breathing thing called a spirometer. I had to let all of my air out and then suck in through the tube. It told me how hard i was breathing and i tried to beat my top scores. I had to do this every so often because my lungs were really weak. ~Post Op~ It is very hard to explain the pains and emotions after surgery to someone that hasn't been through it! I try to explain it to people but they don't understand. Thats why I really suggest you meet the person that is your roomate in the hospital or someone that has gone through this stuff before. It really helps me to have someone to talk to that understands me, it is such a relief. There are also many support groups you can join.
