Abstract

Objective The aim of the present study was to detect atypical Scheuermann's disease through computed tomography scans and estimate its prevalence. Methods 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. Results The study identified 28 cases of atypical Scheuermann's kyphosis, indicating a prevalence of 2.8%. Conclusion The current research, utilizing abdominal tomography, offers valuable insights into the prevalence of Scheuermann's disease in its atypical form within the sampled population.

应用计算机断层扫描研究非典型舒曼氏后凸的患病率。

目的通过计算机断层扫描检测非典型舒尔曼病并估计其患病率。方法本横断面观察性研究包括1287例年龄在18 - 40岁的男女患者的计算机断层扫描。诊断非典型Scheuermann病的标准包括连续3个椎体楔入5°，并在T8至L2的胸腰椎间隔内总Cobb角大于或等于10°。阳性病例评估后凸的严重程度、施莫尔淋巴结的存在和脊柱侧凸。进行患病率估计及与年龄、性别的相关分析。结果本研究共发现28例非典型Scheuermann后凸，患病率2.8%。目前的研究，利用腹部断层扫描，提供了有价值的见解，以其非典型形式的索伊尔曼病的患病率在样本人群中。
