AB  - Brachiolmia type 3 is a rare genetic syndrome that can cause curvature of the spine, kyphosis, andchronic spine pain. In this case report, skeletal dysplasia was observed in the anamnesis of the patientwho 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, breathingexercises, posture exercises and analgesic electrotherapy currents should be kept in mind in the treatment.

N2  - Brakiyolmia tip 3, omurganın eğriliğine, kifoza ve kronik omurga ağrısına neden olabilen nadir bir genetiksendromdur. Bu olgu sunumunda bel ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran ve fizik muayenesinde skolyozu fark edilenhastanın anamnezinde iskelet displazisi izlendi. Şüphe, radyografik bulgulara dayanır ve kesin tanı genetiktestlerle konur. Tedavide semptomların yönetimine yönelik bir rehabilitasyon programı oluşturulmalıdır. Tedavideskolyoz egzersizleri, nefes egzersizleri, postür egzersizleri ve analjezik elektroterapi akımları akılda tutulmalıdır.
