Correction of Congenital Kyphoscoliosis on the Background of Failure of Vertebral Segmentation in the Thoracic Spine Associated with Diastematomyelia at the Level of the Thoracolumbar Spine

Abstract

Congenital scoliosis is one of the most common deformities of the spine in children. Intraspinal anomalies are always accompanied with congenital scoliosis. Diastematomyelia is one of the most common intraspinal pathologies in congenital scoliosis. To date, there is no standard method for correcting congenital spinal deformity associated with diastematomyelia.We present a clinical case of simultaneous correction of congenital scoliosis by an endocorrector with excision of diastematomyelia.Simultaneous tactics of surgical treatment in this clinical case was the method of choice for congenital scoliosis associated with diastematomyelia, since the total lenght of the operation and the total volume of blood loss is significantly lower, and exeresis of the bone septum reduces the risk of neurological complications.Keywords: congenital scoliosis, failure of vertebral segmentation, diastematomyelia, correction.Corresponding author: Makhmetova Meruyert, doctor-resident of the National scientific center of traumatology and orthopedics named after Academician N.D.
