What are the causes of congenital scoliosis?

Congenital scoliosis is a body shape abnormality that has a great impact on people's body and life. Many people want to know the causes of congenital scoliosis. Generally speaking, in addition to congenital vertebral abnormalities, it is also related to people's living habits.

1. Genetic factors: Epidemiological studies on idiopathic scoliosis show that the incidence of scoliosis in the families of scoliosis patients is higher than that in the general population. Although there is a lot of data proving the role of genetic factors in the occurrence and development of idiopathic scoliosis, its specific inheritance pattern is still unclear.

2. Hormone influence: Some people have found that the release of growth hormone and growth factor is significantly increased in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

3. Factors causing asymmetric growth and development: a. Asymmetric growth of the anterior and posterior columns of the spine. b. Asymmetric rib growth and asymmetric rib blood supply. c. Abnormal development of the lamina, articular process and vertebral body on the concave side of the main curve of scoliosis

4. Central nervous system dysfunction such as central nervous system asymmetry and vestibular dysfunction.

5. Lifestyle habits. Experimental studies have shown that long-term scoliotic posture and poor sitting posture can cause lumbar deformity. Research on the relationship between scoliosis and hand and foot usage habits has suggested a relationship between scoliosis and the dominant hemisphere of the brain.

6. Metabolic abnormalities. Some people have found that in the serum of patients with primary scoliosis aged 6 to 18 years, the levels of type 2-I globulin and hexoprotein are increased; the excretion of proline hydroxide in urine is increased, mucopolysaccharides are reduced, and the levels of glucosamine and aminolactose in the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc of scoliosis are reduced.
