Scoliosis may be one of the symptoms of severe motor neuron disease, or it may be caused by adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, unequal length of the lower limbs, metabolic diseases and so on. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the cause.
Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine to the side in the coronal plane. It is generally caused by a variety of reasons, such as:
1. Motor neuron disease: when the human body neuron damage, it can lead to muscle weakness, muscle atrophy and other symptoms, which can lead to the patient’s spinal muscle atrophy and scoliosis symptoms.
2. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: patients often consult the doctor for appearance reasons. In addition to spinal deformity, there is one side of shoulder height, one side of scapula or breast bulge, iliac wing elevation or protrusion, as well as lumbar wrinkle asymmetry and other manifestations. There may also be back discomfort and pain.
3. Unequal length of lower limbs: due to congenital or acquired factors, the length of both lower limbs is not equal, which can lead to scoliosis in the long run.
4. Metabolic diseases: Diseases such as rickets or osteogenesis imperfecta may lead to structural abnormalities of the spine and scoliosis.
Scoliosis may be one of the symptoms of severe motor neuron disease, or it may be caused by other reasons. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the cause and symptoms.
