Scoliosis is called the lateral angulation of the
vertebra more than 10 degrees. Scoliosis is divided
into two groups that is congenital and idiopathic
scoliosis. Congenital scoliosis was presented in one
of the two 14-year-old sisters who were identical
twins; while the other developed adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis. The sister with congenital
scoliosis has hemivertebra in the thoracic third and
seventh vertebras, block vertebra in the thoracic
10th
-11th vertebras, and fusion the L3-L4 vertebras.
The Cobb angle of this sister was 44.4 degrees of
thoracic scoliosis. In the other sister, 13.8 degrees
lumbar scoliosis was detected. Scoliosis has been
shown to occur not only with the genetic
background but also due to low birth weight.
