- Title
Escoliosis Congénita por Hemivértebra. Un Caso Radiológico.
- Authors
Aviña-Fierro, Jorge Arturo; Hernández-Aviña, Daniel Alejandro
- Abstract
The most frequent cause of congenital scoliosis is the presence of a vertebral body structural malformation called hemivertebra that depending on their localization and severity causes an imbalance in the longitudinal growth of the spine and will have important implications for the functioning. Hemivertebra is a vertebral anomaly that results from a lack of formation of one half of the vertebral body. This is a illustrative case of the radiological findings: the computer tomography 3D usually directly outlines the bony anomaly and often seen as a wedge shaped vertebral body, measurements quantifying the global posture, scoliotic deformities and imbalance and describing the shape and pose of the hemivertebra.
