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]

  • Idiopathic

Less Common Causes

Less Common causes of scoliosis can be divided into:[3][4]

Nonstructural scoliosis

Structural scoliosis

Genetic Causes

  • Scoliosis may be caused by a mutations in the Mendelian gene, including:
    • CHD7 gene
    • PAX1 gene
