Radiography of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis before corrective surgery.
Specialty
Medical genetics
Symptoms
Scoliosis that appears at the age of 10-18
Complications
Most cases are usually mild, therefore they do not have any complications, however; in rare cases where the curvature is severe, breathing problems and problems with balance can arise.
Usual onset
10-18 years old
Duration
Life-long (usually)
Causes
"Idiopathic" means that the general cause of the disorder is usually unknown.
Risk factors
Genetic and environmental factors
Diagnostic method
Physical examination, Radiography
Prevention
Reducing the frequency of being in an abnormal posture.
Treatment
Physical therapy, correctional surgery
Prognosis
Good
Frequency
Rather common, affecting approximately 2 to 4% of adolescents (1 in 50/1 in 25-30 adolescents)
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a disorder in which the spine starts abnormally curving sideways (scoliosis) between the ages of 10–18 years old.[1][2][3] Generally, AIS occurs during the growth spurt associated with adolescence.[4][5][6] In some teens, the curvature is progressive, meaning that it gets worse over time,[7] however, AIS more commonly manifests only as a mild curvature.
