“…Atypical form may be more painful than the classic one [6,7]. Conservative management may provide a good survey in lumbar Scheuermann's disease but the evolution still remains unknown [7]. A 25-year follow-up of 481 teenagers whom 58 % percent had Scheurmann's disease showed an increased prevalence of low back pain during adolescence which was significantly reduced over the years [8].…”

“…Exercises causing excessive pressure and repetitive strains on the spine, such as weight lifting and rugby should be avoided for all cases [7]. In adolescent subjects presenting with low back pain Scheuermann's disease should be considered and direct radiography and MR imaging should be asked.…”

“…Computerized Tomography scan is useful in bony structures diagnosis and measurement of spine angles and pedicle dimensions before surgery (29,30). Some studies showed the severity of thoracic kyphosis is not essentially associated with neurological utility (31). The occurrence of any neurologic discrepancy must be examined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the entire spine ( Figure 1) (9).…”

Context: Scheuermann's disease (kyphosis) is an essential kyphosis of the thoracic spinal column, and it is the most public source of kyphosis in adolescents. It has been shown that the imaging characteristics of the disease are sequential 3 vertebrae by minimum 5 degrees of wedging of anterior part of vertebral body. Frequently, the disease is presented at 8 to 12 years of age. Kyphosis is regularly managed with conservative methods. The purpose of this review was to discuss challenging issues in evaluation and treatment of this disease in the mentioned age group. Evidence Acquisition: Medline, Google scholar, PubMed and Ovid were searched and a total of 44 articles were found to be involved in the pediatric evaluation of this disease.Results: The precise basis of Scheuermann's kyphosis remnants is unidentified. Diagnosis is made by careful clinical examination and radiologic evaluations. In neurologic defects, MRI must be taken. Conservative managing plans for SK involve observation, physical therapy, and bracing. Some writers recommended evading the operation till skeletal maturity is completed. Surgery is commonly suggested for patients with deformity progress, permanent pain, neurological discrepancy, pulmonary insufficiency, or cosmetic complain. Thoracic kyphosis with curving of smaller than 75 degrees seldom requires surgery. Posterior only or combined with anterior methods are the surgery options based on severity of disease. Conclusions: Today, new and more modern braces have been designed to increase global advantages of bracing in Scheuermann's disease. Patients with more than 75 degrees of curving, kyphotic progress, intolerable cosmetic features, or neurological discrepancy might be supposed for operation. New surgical procedures permit improved correction of the deformity via posterior surgery with lesser complication rates. Concurrent shortening of the posterior spinal column crossways the apical levels, combined by monitoring of spinal cord, decreases the danger of neurological deficits. Though patients state great satisfaction rates through surgery, both proximal and distal junctional complications can remain. New systems with dynamic instrumentation and improving surgical methods with biologic handling are almost convinced to become typical treatment possibilities.

“…The abdominal ultrasound showed mild left calicopyelic dilatation and fatty liver disease. He had lumbar pain in juvenile osteochondrosis and was diagnosed with Scheuermann's disease; it affects the thoracic or thoracolumbar spine in adolescents, causing increased kyphosis, poor posture and possible backache [Palazzo et al, 2014]. Finally, he exhibited bronchial asthma.…”

Variations of DNA sequences in the human genome range from large, microscopically visible chromosome anomalies to single nucleotide changes. Submicroscopic genomic copy number variations, i.e. chromosomal imbalances which are undetectable by conventional cytogenetic analysis, play an intriguing clinical role. In this study, we describe the clinical consequences of the concurrent presence of an interstitial deletion in 13q34 and a terminal deletion in 4q35.2 in an Italian family. The index patient, a 19-year-old male, as well as his 12-year-old sister are carriers of both deletions, one of maternal and the other of paternal origin. The phenotype includes language delay, multiorgan involvement and bleeding diathesis with mild deficiency of factors X and VII. In the sister, the concomitant presence of Noonan syndrome may partly explain the clinical symptoms. The deleted region on chromosome 13 involves several genes (ATP11A, MCF2L, F7, F10, PROZ, PCID2, CUL4A, and LAMP1); some of these seem to play a role in the proband's phenotype. The terminal deletion in 4q35.2 contains other OMIM genes (FRG1, FRG2 and DBET); moreover, the 4q region is reported as a susceptibility locus for Crohn's disease, diagnosed in the proband's father. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a family with these 2 submicroscopic copy number changes. We tried to relate the clinical phenotype of the proband and his family to the molecular function of the involved genes.
