Abstract

The spine forms the center of the human skeleton, and is composed of 33 vertebrae divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. Hemivertebra (HV) is a malformation of this structure, with congenital scoliosis being the most recurrent complication. Scoliosis is characterized by abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. The prognosis of HV is related to the region of involvement and the associated complications. The etiology is subsequent to an error in the center of chondrification of the vertebra during gestation by incoherent displacement of cells during embryogenesis. Late treatment can lead to spinal deformities and altered anatomical and systemic response. This study aimed to describe a case of hemivertebra and its evolution.
