Infantile idiopathic scoliosis - what does this mean

Infantile idiopathic scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve abnormally in an "s" or "c" shape in children under the age of three. it is caused by unknown factors and is usually diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests. treatment includes observation, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery.

What happens during the disease - infantile idiopathic scoliosis

Infantile idiopathic scoliosis is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the central nervous system, which causes the muscles of the spine to become weak and unable to support the spine in its proper alignment. this imbalance causes the spine to curve abnormally, resulting in the characteristic side-to-side curvature of the spine seen in this condition.
