Overview
The most common cause of scoliosis is idiopathic. Less common causes of scoliosis include congenital and neuromuscular.
Causes
There are three general causes of scoliosis:
- Congenital (present at birth) scoliosis is due to failure of vertebral formation or segmentation of affected vertebrae in utero.[1][2]
- Neuromuscular scoliosis is caused by problems such as poor muscle control or muscle weakness, or paralysis due to diseases such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, and polio.[3]
- Idiopathic scoliosis is scoliosis of unknown cause. Idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents is the most common type.[4]
Life-threatening Causes
- There are no life-threatening causes of scoliosis, however complications resulting from untreated scoliosis is common.
Common causes
Common causes of scoliosis include:[4]
Less Common Causes
Less Common causes of scoliosis can be divided into:[3][4]
Nonstructural scoliosis
- Appendicitis
- Local inflammation
- Leg length discrepancy
- Muscle spasms
