Kyphosis is excessive curvature of the spine in the sagittal (A-P) plane.
Scoliosis is abnormal curvature of the spine in the coronal (lateral) plane. (S for scoliosis and sideways)
Together they are called kypho-scoliosis. Spinal deformity rarely occurs in a single plane and is usually in 3 dimensions.
Lordosis or hyperlordosis is excessive curving of the lower spine and is often associated with scoliosis or kyphosis. It can be exaggerated by poor posture.
Kyphosis and scoliosis should be seen as a symptom rather than a disease.
