description | Scheuermann kyphosis, also known as Scheuermann disease, juvenile kyphosis, or juvenile discogenic disease, is a condition involving an abnormal, excessive curvature of the spine. It involves both the vertebral bodies and discs of the spine and is characterized by anterior wedging of greater than or equal to 5 degrees in three or more adjacent vertebral bodies. Type 1 Scheuermann's disease involves the thoracic spine, whereas type 2 involves both the thoracic and lumbar spine. Although no definitive cause for Scheuermann’s disease has been found, we have reported a case that may explain further about this disease. This article elucidates a case of a 19-year-old boy experiencing pain in the lower back and showing various signs and symptoms of Scheuermann’s disease and the diagnosis and steps taken by doctors toward its treatment. |
