Scoliosis is curvature of the spine, either cervical, thoracic and lumbar
This is scoliosis in the cervical (neck area) and thoracic (upper back) regions of the spine.
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can occur at any level of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. The most common location for scoliosis is the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.

Well, scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The cervicothoracic part deals with the location of the curve. The cervical region is the neck, and the thoracic is the upper back. So the cervicothoracic scoliosis would be a curvature of the spine in the neck/upper back
That is called a scoliosis. You can remember the 'S' shaped spine of Scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a descriptive term for a spinal condition. Scoliosis means curvature
When curvature is severe and located in the thoracic and cervical regions, scoliosis can impinge on the space that houses the heart and lungs. In severe cases, lung or heart capacity can be compromised, causing shortness of breath or heart problems, thereby necessitating more aggressive treatment. When scoliosis deforms the ribs, this can cause similar problems. In very severe cases, patients with diminished lung capacity must use supplemental oxygen.
