  • Symptômes (Médecine)
OBS

La cyphose est normale dans la région dorsale, mais si la courbure s'accentue, il y a hypercyphose, que l'on appelle couramment cyphose. La cyphose peut également se manifester dans la région lombaire, elle est toujours pathologique, puisqu'elle correspond à une suppression, voire une inversion de la courbure normale.

OBS

Le terme «cyphose» a été privilégié par le Comité de sémiologie médicale.
