Classification
Scoliosis can be classified into congenital scoliosis (due to failure of vertebral formation or segmentation of affected vertebrae), idiopathic scoliosis(when the cause is not known) or neuromuscular scoliosis (due to loss of muscle strength or voluntary muscle control).
Congenital scoliosis is subdivided based on radiological finding, structural component involved and 3-D CT.
Based on radiological finding.
- Idiopathic scoliosis may be further classified into three types based on age of onset.
- infantile idipathic scoliosis (birth to 3 years)
- juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (4 to 9 years)
- adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (10 to 20 years)
