“…However, in other epidemiological studies, the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis on chest radiographs of asymptomatic adults is 8-24% [15][16][17]. On the one hand, the prevalence provided by our study may underestimate the prevalence of scoliosis in PCD, because a minority of our population was still prepubertal, 31% of our population was under the age of ten.…”

Purpose Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a respiratory syndrome in which 'random' organ orientation can occur; with approximately 46% of patients developing situs inversus totalis at organogenesis. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between organ anatomy and curve convexity by studying the prevalence and convexity of idiopathic scoliosis in PCD patients with and without situs inversus.Methods Chest radiographs of PCD patients were systematically screened for existence of significant lateral spinal deviation using the Cobb angle. Positive values represented right-sided convexity. Curve convexity and Cobb angles were compared between PCD patients with situs inversus and normal anatomy. Results A total of 198 PCD patients were screened. The prevalence of scoliosis (Cobb [10°) and significant spinal asymmetry (Cobb 5-10°) was 8 and 23%, respectively. Curve convexity and Cobb angle were significantly different within both groups between situs inversus patients and patients with normal anatomy (P B 0.009). Moreover, curve convexity correlated significantly with organ orientation (P \ 0.001; / = 0.882): In 16 PCD patients with scoliosis (8 situs inversus and 8 normal anatomy), except for one case, matching of curve convexity and orientation of organ anatomy was observed: convexity of the curve was opposite to organ orientation. Conclusions This study supports our hypothesis on the correlation between organ anatomy and curve convexity in scoliosis: the convexity of the thoracic curve is predominantly to the right in PCD patients that were 'randomized' to normal organ anatomy and to the left in patients with situs inversus totalis.

“…Despite the frequent citation of the overall prevalence of 1.5-3% for idiopathic scoliosis, Konieczny et al have demonstrated that the prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis as reported in epidemiological studies varies widely and is dependent of age, gender, race and screening methodology: They found prevalences reported between 0.47 and 11.1% [3]. Even, in epidemiological studies that are most comparable to our design (screening on chest X-rays), the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis is 8-24% [4][5][6]. Therefore, we would like to remind the readers that the prevalence of scoliosis in our population of PCD patients (8%) is within the range reported for the prevalence of scoliosis in the general population.…”

“…Adölesan dönemde en sık karşılaşılan omurga sorunu olan skolyoz, omurga diziliminin koronal düzlemde 10 o veya daha büyük bir açıda bozuk olmasıdır (1)(2)(3). Küçük açılı skolyoz hastalarında (10-20 o ) herhangi bir belirti görülmeyebilir.…”

“…Direkt grafi sadece skolyoz düşündüren fizik muayene bulgusu varsa istenir. Bu nedenle küçük açılı skolyozlar OSTP sırasında gözden kaçabilirken (1,10) direkt grafilerle rahatlıkla saptanabilir (3). Gereksiz radyasyon maruziyeti ve sağlık harcamalarını önlemek amacıyla direkt grafiler skolyoz için birincil tarama yöntemi olarak kullanılmamaktadır.…”

Okulda skolyoz tarama programları (OSTP) skolyoz prevalansını belirleme ve önlem alma amacıyla oldukça yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır. Ancak OSTP sürecinde ilk basamakta radyolojik değerlendirme yapılmadığı için küçük açılı (10-20 o) skolyoz hastaları fizik muayene esnasında gözden kaçabilir. Bu çalışmada akciğer grafisi çektirmiş adölesanlarda torasik skolyoz prevalansının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Antalya Atatürk Devlet Hastanesi'ne omurga sorunu dışındaki nedenlerle başvurmuş ve akciğer grafisi çekilmiş adölesan hastaların posteroanterior akciğer grafileri ve demografik verileri resim arşivleme sistemi aracılıyla geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.
