Slide4Idiopathic Scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis develops in childhood. It can be divided into early-initiation idiopathic scoliosis and late-initiation idiopathic scoliosis. Early-initiation scoliosis occurs between birth and 9 years of age.
Generally, the earlier the age of scoliosis initiation, the more severe and disabling it may become. Early-initiation scoliosis can result in major lung problems due to lack of normal lung development and sometimes can progress rapidly.

Slide52. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Also known as Late-initiation scoliosis typically presents between 10 to 17 years of age. Adolescent Scoliosis is most common in females society, and mostly affect the thoracic (upper) spine and rib cage
.The lungs are usually developed by this period
and so lung problems are
usually
not as
simple
unless the scoliosis is quite major (over 80 degrees curve).
For children under 14 years of age who have a large growth spurt, immediate treatment is recommended in most cases.

a spinal deformity in a skeletally mature patient with a Cobb angle of more than 10 degrees in the coronal plain.Adult scoliosis can be categorized into two major groups :
Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis - Those adult patients who have had scoliosis since childhood or teenage come under this category.
Degenerative
Scoliosis ( Adult “De Novo”
) - This
develops in
mature age
i.e
from age 18. Degenerative scoliosis develops as an
result

Slide7Causes of ScoliosisIn approximately 80% of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown due to its Idiopathic nature (
i.e. Roughly 8 out of 10 cases are Idiopathic Scoliosis ). As mentioned above it usually develops when the patient’s age is between 10 and 17 years old, approximately coinciding with the initiation of teens.

as a result of
essential medical
conditions such
as -
a) Muscular
dystrophy
b
) Cerebral palsy
c
)

, a baby will be born with scoliosis because of the way their spine developed in the
