Photo of a patient suffering from rachitic hump. “Poor boy...” - how can I say it? There are already two Gorbs. There is an illness that is difficult to describe in words. May those who still look for information on the Internet forgive me. For this portal, I am the only endocrinologist surgeon in the district clinic. And sometimes I see adult patients who sincerely do not understand why the surgeon did not correct the hump in their neck. But the gap has existed since childhood. As a rule, it grows with the child. In adolescence it can reach large sizes. The child sits down slowly, and then clumsily, due to the cervical spine tilting back, climbs onto a chair or goes down the stairs. Without parental supervision, he may slouch and pull himself up by his head. What am I talking about? And besides, a little later he brings to the appointment not only a photo, but upon examination the doctors make a diagnosis of rachitic humpbacks. There are several forms. Today we will look at the most insidious, gross, which can be seen at birth without treatment. Why is this happening? Why are boys and girls born with a “hump on their head”, and then their parents spend their entire lives, then students throughout school and teachers, teachers at school are horrified about this hump. Why? There may be several causes of the disease. First, children are often exposed to birth trauma. In these cases, the blood supply to the baby is disrupted during pregnancy. Or the baby's head suffers. Injuries during childbirth provoke the formation of a hump. Sometimes the cause is intrauterine inflammation of the child's osteoarticular apparatus (bad ecology when calcium metabolism is disrupted). Secondly, spinal deformities occur when a vertebra is compressed by forceps during childbirth. This disease can also be caused by changes in the length of the child’s neck, that is, hypoplasia. This is a congenital anomaly. Thirdly, oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios, intracranial hemorrhages, especially in boys. Liver pathology. Excessive load on the fetus due to the frantic rush of the baby into the side of the pregnant woman. It was simply said here, it didn’t sound disgusting. When making such diagnoses, doctors first of all ask about the mother’s life history and illness. It is imperative to collect information about screening a newborn for congenital malformations and metabolic follatin to determine intrauterine hypoxia. It is necessary to identify the signs of inflammation that almost always accompany this type of disorder (hoarse voice, muscle tension, wheezing). Which is both a complication and a treatment. Special exercises are prescribed and the correct physical position of the baby’s head is restored. If required, appoint
