Résumé
Kyphosis is a curving of the spine that causes a bowing or rounding of the back which leads to a hunchback or slouching posture. Kyphosis can occur at any age although it is rare at birth. Adolescent kyphosis, also known as Scheuermann's disease, is caused by the wedging together of several bones of the spine (vertebrae) in a row. The cause of Scheuermann's disease is unknown. In adults, kyphosis can be caused by:1.
Degenerative diseases of the spine (such as arthritis or disk degeneration)2. Fractures caused by osteoporosis (osteoporotic compression fractures)3. Injury (trauma)4. Slipping of one vertebra forward on anotherOther causes of kyphosis include:5. Certain endocrine diseases6. Connective tissue disorders7. Infection (such as tuberculosis)8. Muscular dystrophy9. Neurofibromatosis10. Paget's disease11.
Polio12. Spina bifida13. TumorsKyphosis can also be seen with scoliosis. Symptoms are:1. Difficulty breathing (in severe cases)2. Fatigue3. Mild back pain4. Round back appearance5. Tenderness and stiffness in the spineThe doctor will also look for any:1. Nervous system (neurological) changes (weakness, paralysis, or changes in sensation) below the curve.2. Spine x-ray3. Pulmonary function tests (if kyphosis affects breathing)4.
MRI (if there may be a tumor, infection, or neurological symptoms)Congenital kyphosis requires corrective surgery at an early age. Scheuermann's disease is treated with a brace and physical therapy. Occasionally surgery is needed for large (greater than 60 degrees), painful curves. Multiple compression fractures from osteoporosis can be left alone if there are no nervous system problems or pain. However, the osteoporosis needs to be treated to help prevent future fracturesComplications are:1.
Decreased lung capacity2. Disabling back pain3. Neurological symptoms including leg weakness or paralysisTABLE OF CONTENTIntroductionChapter 1 KyphosisChapter 2 More Facts of KyphosisChapter 3 Treatment of KyphosisChapter 4 KyphoscoliosisChapter 5 ScoliosisChapter 6 OsteoporosisChapter 7 CostochondrosisChapter 8 Pectus ExcavatumChapter 9 Pectus CarinatumEpilogue
