Thoracolumbar scoliosis is one of the type of scoliosis that indicates the curvature of the spine where the highest point of curve resides in the portion between the lumbar regions and thoracic. This type of scoliosis is usually congenital which means that it forms during the third to sixth week in womb and is detectable at birth. The cases of this disorder are often diagnosed with a curve toward the right side and occur more in females as compared to males. Thoracolumbar scoliosis has several causes and symptoms that depend upon the cause and its severity.
In few cases, this disorder occurs due to weak muscles and poor muscle control or sometimes inherited from parents while in other cases, it occurs in women in pregnancy phase when physiological changes occur in body that fuse ribcage bones together that in turn pulls the thoracolumbar region and ultimately results in curvature to the spine. Few of the indications that reveal the signs of thoracolumbar scoliosis are, shift towards one side of body; lumbar curves more than 40 to 45 degree, major pain or rapid progression in deformity.
