Scoliosis Curvature Follows Thoracic Organ Orientation
Conclusion.
Dextrocardia shows increased incidence of AIS in both male and female patients. Left-sided thoracic curvature in cases with concurrent dextrocardia may not be associated with intra-spinal pathology as seen in the general population. These data suggest that thoracic organ orientation affects AIS convexity directionality.
