Arnold-Chiari malformation type 2: A rare malformation where the base of the brain enters into the upper spinal canal.

Scoliosis is generally viewed as a lateral curvature of the spine with an axial twist that causes a distortion of the ribs. Current research shows that ideopathic scoliosis is a multifaceted disease that compromises five of the bodyâs systems: digestive, hormonal, muscular, osseous (bones), and neurological. Scoliosis affects the entire skeletal system including the spine, ribs, and pelvis. It impacts upon the brain and central nervous system and affects the bodyâs hormonal and digestive systems. It can deplete the bodyâs nutritional resources and damage its major organs including the heart and lungs.
