<unk>  may manifest in an individual at different stages of life and for various causes. When present at a young age ranging from childhood to teenage,<unk>  may be present from birth due to congenital abnormalities including spina bifida. Certain infections can also lead to the development of<unk>  such as vertebral tuberculosis or general tuberculosis. Osteochondrodysplasia, a disorder related to the development of bone and cartilage, can also cause this disease. In later ages,<unk>  can occur in patients suffering from chronic degenerative diseases like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. This type of incidence is usually seen in patients above 50 years of age and is mainly attributed to structural changes in the spine and adjoining tissues. Sometimes, a traumatic injury can also lead to its development. Further, there are many idiopathic occurrences of<unk>  where the exact cause is not very well known but is suspected to be caused by genetic factors.
