Scheuermann's Kyphosis

Aka: Scheuermann's Kyphosis, Scheuermann's Disease, Scheuermann Kyphosis
  1. See Also
    1. Pediatric Back Pain
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Most common structural kyphosis in teenagers,with typical onset age 10-12 years old (as early as 8 years old)
  3. Pitfalls
    1. Often misdiagnosed as poor Posture (postural kyphosis)
  4. Pathophysiology
    1. Osteochondrosis affecting the Vertebral epiphyseal Growth Plates
    2. Vertebral end plate disorder results in Vertebral body wedging
    3. With growth spurt, kyphosis increases
  5. Symptoms
    1. Stooped Posture
    2. Upper back pain
      1. Gradual onset
      2. Worse at end of day
      3. Relieved with rest
  6. Signs
    1. Rigid kyphosis (humpback deformity) that does not improve with back extension or lying supine
  7. Diagnosis
    1. Three or more adjacent Vertebrae wedged >5 degrees and thoracic disc space narrowing
      1. Draw lines from parallel to the top and bottom of the Vertebral bodies extended anteriorly
      2. Measure wedging angle at the point at which the 2 lines intersect
        1. Lines do not intersect in a normal, non-wedged Vertebrae
  8. Differential Diagnosis
    1. Congenital kyphosis (formation or segmentation failure in development)
    2. Neuromuscular kyphosis (Cerebral Palsy, Myelomeningocele, Syringomyelia, polio)
    3. Postural kyphosis
  9. Imaging
    1. Thoracolumbar Xray
      1. Lateral: Diagnosis requires 5 degrees or more of wedging in at least 3 adjacent Vertebrae
      2. Also evaluate for Scoliosis and disc space narrowing
    2. Thoracolumbar MRI
      1. Indicated in severe symptoms and non-diagnostic XRay
  10. Management
    1. Physical Therapy
    2. Bracing indications
      1. Kyphosis 55-80 degrees before skeletal maturity
    3. Surgery indications
      1. Kyphosis >80 degrees in Thoracic Spine
      2. Kyphosis >65 degrees in thoracolumbar spine
      3. Progressive or refractory course resulting in pain, neurologic deficit or balance concerns
      4. Restrictive Lung Disease related symptoms and signs
  11. Course
    1. Progression is most pronounced during growth spurt and then slows after reaching skeletal maturity

Scheuermann's Disease (C0036310)

Definition (MSH) A type of juvenile osteochondrosis affecting the fibrocartilaginous disc (INTERVERTEBRAL DISC) in the thoracic or thoracolumbar region of the SPINE. It is characterized by a forward concave SPINAL CURVATURE or KYPHOSIS.
Definition (MSHCZE) Onemocnění páteře vznikající vobdobí adolescence, někdy s rodinným výskytem. Projevuje se bolestí zad,změnami na obratlech ameziobratlových ploténkách, zejm. v hrudní páteři. Na rtg je patrná kyfóza hrudní páteře, deformace hrudních obratlů způsobená aseptickou nekrózou, typické jsou tzv. Schmorlovy uzly. Onemocnění se manifestuje převážně ve věku 10 až 13 let. Pohyb je omezen v oblasti středních a dolních hrudních obratlů, trup je lehce nakloněn dopředu, vsedě nastupuje rychle únava a bolesti zad. Při vhodné životosprávě a rehabilitaci je prognóza příznivá. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
