Displasias vertebrales múltiples asociadas a Síndrome de Rokitansky: una causa poco frecuente de escoliosis congénita. A propósito de un caso

Abstract

Vertebral dysplasia is a developmental defect, mainly of the vertebral bodies that cause severe spinal column and thoracic deformity that include congenital scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis. These vertebral anomalies can be classified as failure of formation, failure of segmentation, or a combination of both. The location and type of the vertebral defect determines the severity of the scoliosis. Is mandatory known that these abnormalities may be isolated or associated with concurrent neural, limb or visceral anomalies, which must be ruled out. Therefore additional imaging and genetical studies are necessary to provide evidence of these associated defects. Early diagnosis and rehabilitation treatment with exhaustive expectant watching are vital to prevent development of sever deformities and possible pulmonary complications. We report a representative case of multiple vertebral anomalies associated with Rokitansky Syndrome in a female who develops scoliosis during her puberty.
