Abstract

Aims: Asymmetry of the breasts in female adolescents may be linked with right convex thoracic scoliosis. This is a prospective comparative study of the internal mammary artery (IMA) with Color Doppler Ultrasonography (CDU) in female adolescents and controls. Methods: 20 female adolescents with right thoracic scoliosis and 16 comparable individuals without spine deformity were included in this study. Scoliosis curve, vertebral rotation and concave and convex rib-vertebra-angle (RVA) at three vertebrae close to apical were measured. IMA- lumen, cross sectional area, time average mean ßow and ßow volume per minute were measured with CDU in scoliotics and controls. Results: The reliability of CDU. was high and the intraobserver variability low (ANOVA, P=0.92–0.94). There was no difference in CDU-parameters of IMA between right and left side, as well as between scoliotics and controls. In scoliotics the right IMA- time average mean velocity increases with both RVAs one level above the apical vertebrae (P< 0.01), convex RVA one level below the apical vertebra (P< 0.05), and concave RVA (P< 0.01). The left IMA-time average increases with only the convex RVA one level above the apical vertebra (P< 0.05). IMA- ßow volume increases with the convex RVA one level above the apical vertebra (P< 0.05), while the right IMA-ßow volume increases furthermore with the apical RVA (P< 0.01) and concave RVA one level above the apical vertebra (P< 0.01). The concave apical RVA (P< 0.01) and concave RVA one level above the apical vertebra (P< 0.01) increases with left IMA cross sectional area. Conclusion: This study showed that anatomy and haemodynamic ßow parameters of IMA signiþcantly correlated with apical roentgen-ographic parameters. However, there was no evidence for side-difference in vascularity of the anterior thorax wall that could justify the previous theories for development of right thoracic scoliosis in adolescent females
