Hemivertebra is a rare congenital abnormality of the spinal column. Hemivertebra with other structural and cytogenetic abnormalities are reported. The prognosis is favorable with partial hemivertebra and with a single spinal defect as compared to a defect involving full segments and affecting different levels of the spines. The perinatal outcome is obscured when it is associated with other syndromes or cytogenetic abnormality. It is imperative to do serial thorough anatomical ultrasound scanning and to screen for chromosomal abnormality when hemivertebra is detected during pregnancy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with scoliosis from Australian primary care practices.
Methods: A retrospective review of 190 patient records from August 2017 to April 2020 from a private Australian clinical advisory service database was performed. Deidentified demographic and clinical data were collated and analyzed, along with information regarding the referring practitioners and any accompanying clinical or paraclinical information.

Purpose: This study is to conduct a retrospective review of the selective resection strategies, their immediate efficacy and prognosis, using double hemivertebrae (DHV) as illustrative cases.
Methods: A total of 59 adolescent and young adult patients with DHV were enrolled from 2009 to 2021. They were categorized into sagittal kyphosis group (SKG), coronal takeoff group (CTG) and balanced group (BG).

Article Synopsis
- Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
- The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
- The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.
Semi-segmented lumbar supernumerary hemivertebra resection in congenital scoliosis: a case report.

Background: Congenital scoliosis with progressive potential is a controversial subject in early-onset spinal deformities. The presence of a hemivertebra may produce severe spinal deformities. The evolution of a scoliotic curve in these cases is unpredictable and requires careful follow-up dependent on multiple variables, such as the location of the hemivertebra, the age of the patient at the time of diagnosis, and the degree of deformity already present in both sagittal and frontal planes.

Kyphoscoliosis is a spinal disorder where the spine's natural curvature is abnormally altered in multiple planes. It may be associated with the presence of a hemivertebrae, as discussed in this case. Negligence of this deformity may cause symptoms of back pain, worsening spinal deformity leading to reduced lung expansion, or neurological deficit impacting the quality of life for the worse.
