Overview
Complications of kyphosis include; inflammation of the soft tissue or deep inflammatory processes, breathing impairments, bleeding, and nerve injuries. These complications usually occur after longstanding kyphosis. The prognosis depends upon the underlying cause, which is poor if caused by a tumor, and whether the patient has developed any complications.
Natural History
Complications
Possible complications may be inflammation of the soft tissue or deep inflammatory processes, breathing impairments, bleeding, and nerve injuries. However, according to the latest evidence, the rate of complications is far beyond that rate.
Prognosis
Prognosis of kyphosis depends on:
- Underlying causes: Prognosis of patients with kyphosis caused by tumors is poor than other causes.
- Whether the patient is accompanied with complications such as decreased lung function, disabling back pain, neurological symptoms iand round back deformity.
