kyphoscoliosis

In more serious cases, however, the combination is classified as a separate condition known as kyphoscoliosis.

Musculoskeletal deformities such as kyphoscoliosis contribute to restrictive lung disease.

Progressive kyphoscoliosis affects 1 in 2 patients.

Many affected individuals also have an abnormal front-to-back and sideways curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis).

Note: Kyphoscoliosis also involves abnormal front to back curvature, with a "rounded back" appearance.

Specific skeletal abnormalities include contractures and kyphoscoliosis.

Treatment also includes correcting skeletal abnormalities such as kyphoscoliosis through orthopedic surgery and other orthopedic techniques.

The most serious complication in CCA is scoliosis and sometimes kyphoscoliosis mandating surgery.

About 75% of patients have a Marfanoid habitus, often with kyphoscoliosis or lordosis, joint laxity, and decreased subcutaneous fat.

Bone disease (osteoporosis, kyphoscoliosis, fractures)

Kyphoscoliosis: Spinal deformity combining a sideways curvature with a hunching forward of the upper part of the spine.

Reports have been published about spina bifida occulta in anaesthesia management and cervical kyphoscoliosis in intubations.

In Germany a standard treatment for kyphoscoliosis as well as the more common scoliosis and kyphosis is the Schroth method of physical therapy.

Deformed (kyphoscoliosis), rigid (ankylosing spondylitis), or flail chest.

A distinctive osseous lesion such as kyphoscoliosis, sphenoid dysplasia, or thinning of the long bone cortex with or without pseudarthrosis.

Skeletal abnormalities: bifid ribs, kyphoscoliosis, early calcification of falx cerebri (diagnosed with AP radiograph)

Coffin-Lowry syndrome; severe mental retardation sometimes associated with abnormalities of growth, cardiac abnormalities, kyphoscoliosis as well as auditory and visual abnormalities.

The name "CAMFAK" comes from the first letters of the characteristic findings of the disease: cataracts, microcephaly, failure to thrive, and kyphoscoliosis.

Other characteristics of this disorder are a narrow thorax, short ribs, and kyphoscoliosis (backward and sideways curvature of the spinal column) which develops into short trunk dwarfism.

At the time of his death at age 36, he had shrunk several inches, due to kyphoscoliosis (curvature of the spine, a mixture of scoliosis, and kyphosis, meaning hunchback).

Acute disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, kyphoscoliosis, damage to the spinal column and neoplasia all could result in ischemia from anterior spinal artery occlusion leading to anterior cord syndrome.

Progressive muscle wasting results in weakness of distal limb muscles (especially the peronei), gait ataxia, pes cavus, postural tremors and static tremor of the upper limbs, kyphoscoliosis, and foot deformity.

Other characteristic features in CRLF1 mutation include marfanoid habitus with progressive kyphoscoliosis and craniofacial characteristics including dolichocephaly, a slender face with poor expression, a nose with hypoplastic nares, malar hypoplasia and prognathism.

This condition may be an isolated phenomenon or may be associated with other segmental anomalies of the vertebral bodies such as Spina Bifida, kyphoscoliosis, butterfly vertebra, hemivertebra and block vertebrae which are observed in most of the cases.

It is characterized by blepharophimosis, microcephaly, micrognathia, multiple joint contractures, arachnodactyly, camptodactyly, kyphoscoliosis, and delayed motor development and is often associated with cystic dysplastic kidneys, dextrocardia, Dandy-Walker malformation, and agenesis of corpus callosum".
