Thoracogenic scoliosis - what does this mean
Thoracogenic scoliosis is a form of spinal deformity caused by a structural abnormality in the rib cage, such as a rib hump, which causes the spine to twist and curve to the side. this type of scoliosis is usually caused by a congenital defect, a tumor, an infection, or a trauma to the chest wall.
What happens during the disease - thoracogenic scoliosis
Thoracogenic scoliosis is a spinal curvature that is caused by an underlying thoracic abnormality such as an abnormality of the rib cage, chest wall, or vertebrae. this abnormality causes an imbalance in the muscles and ligaments that support the spine, leading to an exaggerated curvature of the spine. in some cases, the underlying abnormality is congenital, while in other cases, it is caused by trauma or disease. treatment typically involves bracing and physical therapy to correct the curvature, or in more severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
