What Is Lumbar Levoscoliosis?

Does anyone know "congenital anomalies are associated with levoscoliosis of the thoracic spine" means?

My husband was in an accident 2 months ago...this is what the latest xray tests results are. He has to go for an MRI, but we wondered what this means, how it is treated, etc. ...show more
Answer:

Normally a scoliosis of the thoracic spine should be pointing to the right (dextroscoliosis). A levoscoliosis points to the left. Any time a doctor sees a thoracic scoliosis pointing left he/she should consider the possibility of other congenital anomalies (associated problems from birth). A hemivertebra is a common congenital anomaly that can lead to scoliosis. The MRI was ordered to make sure he doesn't have any underlying spinal cord problems that could be contributing to a rapidly progressive scoliotic curve progression. If your husband's accident involved a spinal cord injury leaving him paralyzed, then that is the most likely cause of his scoliosis.
