Popis: | 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. Conclusion: Radiological and blood investigations are required to rule out other possible causes of chronic back pain to make a diagnosis of atypical Scheuermann disease which should be treated conservatively initially. Keywords: Atypical Scheuermann disease, kyphosis, lumbar spine, adolescent patient, lower back pain. |
