What is the curve of Carus?

(kar′ŭs) [Carl Gustav Carus, Ger. physiologist and painter, 1789–1869] An arc corresponding to the pelvic axis. At the end of the second stage of labor, when the fetal head reaches the curve of Carus, it is directed upward toward the vaginal introitus and forced into extension by the resistance of the pelvic floor.

What is dextroscoliosis?

Dextroscoliosis is a type of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that results in a sideways curve of the spinal column. If the spine curves to the right, the condition is known as dextroscoliosis.
