Scoliosis may have the following consequences: First, it leads to abnormal curvature of the spine, which makes the spine very susceptible to abnormal wear and tear and aging of the relevant areas, after which the patient is prone to osteophytes, herniated discs, or aseptic inflammation of the spine, among other things. Secondly, serious deformities of the thorax may occur, such as severe convexity or concavity of one side of the thorax. In addition, when the patient has an attack of this complication, there may be a decline in cardiopulmonary function due to cardiopulmonary compression, after which the patient may have difficulty breathing or often have upper respiratory infections.
