Is It Possible 21 Year Old Could Of Developed Idiopathic Scoliosis From Having A Lumbar Puncture Performed When She Was 18 Months?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern, I would explain that the scoliosis spinal column deformation can not be caused by a lumbar puncture even in a very young age. But chronic deficiency of vitamin D or calcium or even a wrong posture can lead to this symptoms. I recommend performing vitamin D and calcium plasma levels to exclude this possibility. A spinal column CT scan would help give more information on the anatomy of your spinal column and possible treatment options. Meanwhile, i recommend correcting your posture and perform a lot of physical activity which is important for the reinforcement of the back muscles. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
