The deformation of the gibbus is contained in a subset of structural kyphosis, which is characterized by a higher angle in the curve of the spine specific to these forms of kyphosis. Other conditions in this subset include Pott`s disease and Scheuermann`s kyphosis, but Gibbus deformity is characterized by a particularly sharp angle. Seen from behind, the resulting bump is easier to see when it leans forward. [10] >70° kyphosis may be an indication of the need for surgery, and these surgeries may be necessary for two-year-old children with a reported average of 8 years.

In addition to tuberculosis, other possible causes of gibbous deformities include pathological diseases, hereditary and congenital conditions, as well as physical trauma to the spine that leads to injuries. [6] [7] Gibbus deformity can result from the sail vertebrae associated with cretinism (the childish form of hypothyroidism), mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and certain congenital syndromes, including achondroplasia. [8] Since most children with MPS I (Hurler syndrome) also have symptoms of Gibbus deformity, Gibbus can potentially be used to identify the former. [9] Gibbus deformation is a form of structural kyphosis that typically occurs in the upper lumbar vertebrae and lower thoracic vertebrae, where one or more adjacent vertebrae get stuck. Deformation of the gibbus most often develops in young children as a result of spinal tuberculosis and is the result of the collapse of the vertebral bodies. [1] [2] [3] This in turn can lead to compression of the spinal cord, which causes paraplegia. [4] [5]. This article about the human musculoskeletal system is a heel.
