Current theories on the etiopathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis
Abstract
Review of the literature shows that the cause of idiopathic scoliosis remains unknown, although research has possibly some hypothetical causes. Abnormalities of disc, bone, muscle, and collagen do not appear to be etiological factors but rather reflect the effects of scoliosis on normal tissues. Although most patients with idiopathic scoliosis are thought of as tall and slender, it has not yet been proven that growth in condition is different from normal. It appears that central nervous system abnormalities do exist in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. There also may be a genetic basis and sagittal plane abnormality for idiopathic scoliosis. Whether these three factors form the basis for a multifactorial etiology of idiopathic scoliosis remains to be proven.
