Comparison of Intraspinal Abnormalities Prevalence in Congenital Scoliosis
Patients with multiple hemivertebra have a 1.96-fold higher risk of intraspinal abnormalities compared with those with a single hemivertebra. Importantly, intraspinal abnormalities are associated with female sex, multiple hemivertebra, and nonsegmented morphology, but not neurological symptoms, and caution should be paid to the intraspinal abnormalities outside of the bony lesions.
