Damage to the spinal marrow by kyphoscoliosis shows a characteristic clinical syndrome: severe curvature of the vertebral column, first manifestation in the second decade or in the second half of life, at this time frequently associated with cardiac and circulatory failure, spinal symptoms often accentuated on the convex side of the scoliosis. Mechanical alteration of the spinal marrow and cardiovascular failure are considered to be pathogenetic factors. Kyphoscoliotic lesions of the bone marrow are rare and ought only to be diagnosed by exclusion. Conservative treatment consists of orthopedic measures and treatment of the heart and circulation. Operative decompression of the spine may be successful, but deterioration is possible after some years.
脊柱严重弯曲，首发于二十多岁或中年后期，此时常伴有心脏和循环系统衰竭，脊柱症状在侧弯凸侧往往更为明显。脊髓的机械性改变和心血管衰竭被认为是致病因素。骨髓的脊柱后凸侧弯病变较为罕见，只能通过排除其他疾病来诊断。保守治疗包括矫形措施以及心脏和循环系统的治疗。脊柱手术减压可能会成功，但数年后仍有可能病情恶化。
