Scoliosis is really an opinion on if it is rare or common. I can answer that 2-3% of people HAVE curves of over 20*, i have scoliosis...so i find it pretty common that 2-3 percent have it...but i think that more people should know what it is.
Idiopathic scoliosis. Infantile. Curvature appears before age three. This type is quite rare in the United States, but is more common in Europe.
Yes they can. Scoliosis is most common in women... Not sure if it's the same in animals though.
Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine. Neuromuscular scoliosis is due to loss of control of the nerves or muscles which support the spine. The most common causes of this type of scoliosis are cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
Adolescent. Curvature appears between ages of 10 and 13, near the beginning of puberty. This is the most common type of idiopathic scoliosis.
Scoliosis refers to a curve in the spine that is not normally present in a healthy spine.

Scoliosis usually starts during adolesence.
There are many causes. The most common is of a birth defect where the tissue near the spine is abnormal. The spine then begins to show scoliosis during adolesence.
Not likely. Scoliosis is usually a birth defect with the tissue near the spine. Mild cases are common, showing up during adolesence. Scoliosis is not know to be spread by family history. ~ I'm going to have to disagree with the answer listed above. Scoliosis is a multi-factorial condition with both genetic pre-disposition and environmental influences. While it is not guaranteed that "scoliosis genes" may be pasted onto the offspring, it is certainly a likelihood.
An opossum is NOT rare, it is a common animal.
