What Causes Scoliosis Among Babies?
What Causes Scoliosis Among Babies? Congenital scoliosis is a rare form of scoliosis that is presented as a defect at birth. The most common signs of congenital scoliosis are hemivertebra or unilateral bar. A hemivertebra is when the spinal bone doesn’t develop adequately. A unilateral bar is when bones in your spine don't separate. Congenital scoliosis can also cause defects in other parts of the body, possibly leading to cardiac or other spinal abnormalities. It is vital for children with congenital scoliosis to get yearly screenings. It is also one of the hardest forms of scoliosis to diagnose. It is often difficult to see any spinal imperfections until a child reaches the toddler age. Surgery might be necessary if the spinal curve worsens. Some surgery options include in situ spinal fusion, Hemi-epiphysiodesis, veptr treatment, etc. Often, a brace or cast will not serve as a preventative measure for stopping curvuture growth.
