Patient's question:

Boy, 1 year old, scoliosis, lower limb inequality

Doctor's answer:

Congenital scoliosis is caused by hemivertebrae deformity, leading to body imbalance, trunk and pelvic tilt, and uneven shoulders. Scoliosis can also cause abnormal chest development, affecting the development of cardiopulmonary function. It is recommended to take X-rays in a regular hospital to determine the type of deformation before undergoing surgery.
