many normal children have coronal plane asymmetry ( an inconsequential lateral curvature of the spine ) , and certainly all have vertebral body asymmetry in the transverse plane , but when median plane asymmetry ( flattening or more usually reversal of the normal thoracic kyphosis at the apex of the scoliosis ) is superimposed during growth , a progressive idiopathic scoliosis occurs .
