Scoliosis (Pediatric) -
http://www.cpmgsandiego.com/parentresources/healthtopics/C014152 - Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. The spine is normally straight when viewed from the back; but in people with scoliosis the spine can bend to the right, left, or can bend both ways. There can also be a twisting of the spine which can cause the rib cage to be asymmetric. Scoliosis affects approximately 3% of the pediatric population.
