RESUMO
Despite the high prevalence of straight back syndrome (SBS), there is still limited research on this condition, posing challenges for effective diagnosis and treatment. The disease has been known for a long time, but there have been few related studies, which mostly consist of case reports. These studies have not been systematically summarized, making it difficult to meet the current needs of diagnosis and treatment. This article summarized the existing literature and comprehensively reviewed the diagnosis, pathogenesis, treatment, and research status of mitral valve prolapse related to SBS. We specifically emphasized the mechanisms and prognosis of SBS combined with mitral valve prolapse and discussed the latest research progress in this disease.
