I was wondering in anyone has ever heard of a 2 month old baby being diagnosed with scoliosis. My son is 10 weeks old and was just diagnosed with this. We are currently undergoing extensive testing to rule out neuromuscular problems. I have heard that scoliosis can just disappear in infants and that only 1 in 10,000 babies are born with this. His little back is already at a 34 degree angle. Please, if anyone knows anything about this let me know. Thanks.

Don't know anything really about scoliosis, but you might want to check the back board.
I hope everything turns out well for your baby

Go to search on your internet and type in "scoliosis in infants". I just did that and it pulled up a lot of sites. Good luck! Take good care of that sweet boy. Hugs, Pat

Hi Pat,
I have pulled up everything on the internet about scoliosis in infants. I was hoping that I could actually talk to a family that has gone through this. I found a little boy on the internet with it and emailed his parents but didn't hear back, unfortunately his web site hasn't been updated for over 2 years. Thanks for checking for me. My little boy is named Nicholas in case anyone would like to say prayers for him.

I dont know if this could be of help, but ask your doctor about sprengles disease, its a rare disorder, where a shoulder is higher then the other. But if the baby was x-rayed this should have been seen.

I have congenital scoliosis. I'm 45 and only recently discovered that this can be congenital. Try using those terms in your search.
I will keep your son in prayer. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif :angel:

We know that Nicholas doesn't have congenital scoliosis. We did x-rays and everything was in in order. They call his scoliosis Idiopathic Infantille Scoliosis, which mean they don't know why. Today we went for MRI of brain, chest and spine. I will know more by the end of this week. Thanks everyone.
