Abstract EN
Cervical deformity (CD) is a kind of disorder influencing cervical alignment.
Although the incidence of CD is not high, this deformity can cause not only pain but also difficulties in daily activities such as swallowing and maintaining upright position.
Even though the common cause of cervical deformity is still controversial, previous studies divided CD into congenital deformity and secondary deformity; secondary deformity includes iatrogenic and noniatrogenic deformity according to pathogenic factors.
Due to the lack of relevant studies, a standardized evaluation for CD is absent.
Even though the assessment of preoperative condition and surgical planning mainly rely on personal experience, the evaluation methods could still be summarized from previous studies.
The objective in this article is to summarize studies on cervical scoliosis, identify clinical problems, and provide directions for researchers interested in delving deep into this specific topic.
In this review, we found that the lack of standard classification system could lead to an absence of clinical guidance; in addition, the osseous landmarks and vascular distributions could be variable in CD patients, which might cause the risk of vascular or neurological complications; furthermore, multiple deformities were usually presented in CD patients, which might cause chain reaction after the correction of CD; this would prevent surgeons from choosing realignment surgery that is effective but risky.
