What causes a lowered rib cage on one side and raised the other in teenage boy?
Possible causes of a lowered rib cage on one side and raised on the other in a teenage boy:
- Scoliosis: This is a condition in which the spine curves sideways. It can cause one shoulder to be higher than the other, and one rib cage to be lower than the other.
- Kyphosis: This is a condition in which the spine curves forward. It can cause the shoulders to round forward and the rib cage to appear sunken.
- Lordosis: This is a condition in which the spine curves inward. It can cause the lower back to curve forward and the rib cage to appear raised.
- Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as muscular dystrophy and certain genetic disorders, can also cause the rib cage to appear uneven.
If you are concerned about your son's rib cage, it is important to see a doctor for evaluation. The doctor can determine the cause of the asymmetry and recommend treatment if necessary.
