Abstract

Brakiyolmia tip 3, omurganın eğriliğine, kifoza ve kronik omurga ağrısına neden olabilen nadir bir genetik
sendromdur. Bu olgu sunumunda bel ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran ve fizik muayenesinde skolyozu fark edilen
hastanın anamnezinde iskelet displazisi izlendi. Şüphe, radyografik bulgulara dayanır ve kesin tanı genetik
testlerle konur. Tedavide semptomların yönetimine yönelik bir rehabilitasyon programı oluşturulmalıdır. Tedavide
skolyoz egzersizleri, nefes egzersizleri, postür egzersizleri ve analjezik elektroterapi akımları akılda tutulmalıdır.

A Rare Cause of Scoliosis: Brachyolmia Type 3

Abstract

Brachiolmia type 3 is a rare genetic syndrome that can cause curvature of the spine, kyphosis, and
chronic spine pain. In this case report, skeletal dysplasia was observed in the anamnesis of the patient
who presented with low back pain and was noticed to have scoliosis during the physical examination.
Suspicion is based on radiographic findings and definitive diagnosis is made by genetic testing. In treatment,
a rehabilitation program should be created to manage the symptoms. Scoliosis exercises, breathing
exercises, posture exercises and analgesic electrotherapy currents should be kept in mind in the treatment.
