Review Meta Analysis
The prevalence of adult de novo scoliosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Primary degenerative scoliosis represents a new scoliosis developing in patients with no prior history of spinal curvature. Researchers sought to determine the prevalence of this type of scoliosis. ⋯ Primary degenerative scoliosis is a highly prevalent condition, especially in females. Further research targeting this type of scoliosis is required to obtain more precise global prevalence estimates and to understand the influence of age and sex.

Review Case Reports
Bezold-Jarisch reflex causing bradycardia and hypotension in a case of severe dystrophic cervical kyphotic deformity: a case report and review of literature.
A 17-year-old adolescent with neurofibromatosis and severe cervicothoracic deformity was identified to have thoracic inlet compression leading to bradycardia and hypotension, only during prone positioning, and we discuss its successful management. ⋯ Bezold-Jarisch Reflex as a result of narrow thoracic inlet caused by cervical kyphosis and compensatory hyperlordosis of the upper thoracic spine has never been reported. This case highlights the need to introspect into thoracic inlet morphology in severe cervicothoracic deformities. Thoracic inlet decompression is an efficient way of addressing this unique complication.
