The aim of the present study was to detect atypical Scheuermann's disease through computed tomography scans and estimate its prevalence. This cross-sectional observational study involved 1,287 computed tomography scans from patients aged 18 to 40 years of both genders. The criteria for diagnosing atypical Scheuermann's disease included wedging of 5° in 3 consecutive vertebrae, combined with a total Cobb angle of 10° or more within the thoracolumbar interval from T8 to L2. Positive cases were assessed for kyphosis severity, presence of Schmorl's nodes, and scoliosis. Prevalence estimation and correlation analysis with age and sex were performed. The study identified 28 cases of atypical Scheuermann's kyphosis, indicating a prevalence of 2.8%. The current research, utilizing abdominal tomography, offers valuable insights into the prevalence of Scheuermann's disease in its atypical form within the sampled population.

Introduction And Importance: Scheuermann's kyphosis is a structural deformity of the thoracolumbar spine that is classified in typical (thoracic) and atypical (lumbar and thoracolumbar) Scheuermann's disease. Surgical intervention is reserved for those with progressive kyphosis, intractable pain and neurological impairment. Although, previous literature focuses on the correction of the thoracic kyphosis (TK), recent lines of evidence recommend considering all the sagittal balance parameters when performing a surgery.

Introduction: Atypical Scheuermann disease involves one or two vertebral bodies which result in kyphosis.
Case Report: An 18-year-old male presented in OPD with a complaint of chronic lower back pain without any lower limb pain and neurological deficit. Radiological imaging and blood parameters were in favor of atypical Scheuermann disease.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between Scheuermann disease (SD) and the pathophysiological factors of thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS), including ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF), ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), and thoracic disc herniation (TDH) in patients with symptomatic TSS.
Methods: Demographic and radiological data from 66 consecutive patients diagnosed with symptomatic TSS from 2013 to 2018 were retrospectively collected and divided into 3 groups depending on the underlying pathomechanism of TSS: TDH group (18 patients; 6 women; mean age ± standard deviation [Sd] = 59.89 ± 11.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous connective tissue disorder characterized by increased bone fragility and a series of extraskeletal manifestations. Approximately 90 % of OI cases are caused by type I collagen variants encoded by the collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) or type I alpha 2 (COL1A2) gene. Lumbar Scheuermann's disease is an atypical type of Scheuermann's disease accompanied by Schmorl's nodes and irregular endplates but without pronounced kyphosis.
