Scoliosis secondary to neglected Hemivertebra: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: A hemivertebra is a congenital anomaly of the spine characterized by an incomplete vertebra resulting from a failure in the formation of the vertebral body. The significance of this article lies in the fact that early diagnosis of hemivertebra allows for personalized surgical treatment, which can enhance outcomes and prevent the development of spinal deformities and associated complications.

Case Presentation: We report on the case of a 17-year-old girl with scoliosis secondary to lumbar hemivertebra, where surgical management was very late due to parental negligence, which delayed diagnosis.

En bloc vertebrectomy: A radical technique for spinal metastases but rarely used.

Introduction And Importance: Total vertebrectomy En bloc by posterior approach is proposed for primary or secondary single-site malignant tumors of the spine to reduce local recurrence and increase patient survival. This type of surgery is gaining increasing recognition. However, it requires a high level of technical skill and knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the spine.

Presentation Of The Case: We report the case of an 82-year-old patient who had fallen down a flight of stairs. Scalp examination was consistent with a bi-parietal subgaleal hematoma.
