Kyphosis- “hunchback” forward curvature of the upper back, abnormally rounded, exaggerated curve. Causes pain, instability, lung/breathing problems.
Lordosis- “swayback” when the curve of the lower spine is exaggerated. Causes back pain and instability
Scoliosis- “S” shape spine. Lateral deviation and rotational deformity of spine.
idiopathic- (no identifiable cause) may be related to hormone factors, including levels of melatonin produced
congenital
neuro-muscular
Respiration can be adversely impacted in the case of very large scoliotic curves. The pelvic and shoulder girdles will also be affected in this scenario (one leg/one arm may be shorter). The bones, cartilage, and muscles of spine are affected… muscles become shorter on one side. Yoga postures benefit and counteract this in that the shortened muscles become lengthened.

Abstract: The abducens nerve, the sixth cranial nerve, innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye and is responsible for lateral horizontal ocular movement. A wide variety of abnormalities, both primary to the nerve itself and secondarily involving the nerve, can paralyze the abducens nerve. MR imaging offers the best opportunity to detect the underlying abnormality causing abducens nerve palsy. In this pictorial essay, we illustrate the MR imaging features of numerous conditions that cause isolated abducens nerve palsy.
