An Atypical Case of Lumbar Scheuermann’s Disease

Abstract

Scheuermann disease’s true etiology still remains unknown, but there appears to be a strong genetic as well as an environmental contribution. The kyphotic deformity is frequently attributed to "poor posture" which is still resulting in delayed diagnosis. Because of its natural history which has not been clearly defined, treatment modalities and indications remain debated. However, Scheuermann also described changes occur in the disc spaces of the spine which can lead to back pain, there are still some confusions in terminology, diagnosis and the mangement of the disease. We aimed to remind that miscellaneous disease with a brief and different case of report. [Med-Science 2016; 5(2.000): 715-9]
