Mild scoliosis herniation of thoracic vertebrae 10 to 12 is usually asymptomatic. In severe cases, body asymmetry, thoracic deformity, spinal deviation, and lower limb paralysis may occur.
1. Body asymmetry: the shoulders are unequal, showing that the shoulder on the convex side is high and the shoulder on the concave side is low.
2. Thoracic deformity: in severe cases, it may be followed by thoracic deformity and reduction of thoracic cavity volume.
3. Spinal deviation: the spine deviates from the median line, and a wrinkled dermatome appears on one side of the waist.
4. Dyspnea: as the disease progresses and involves cardiopulmonary development, dyspnea, etc., with hypoxia and cyanosis after exercise.
5. Lower limb paralysis: paralysis of the lower limbs and muscle atrophy can occur when the nerves are compressed.
If you find thoracic vertebrae 10 to 12 lateral curvature protruding with the above symptoms, you should go to the regular hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
