Abstract
A retrospective review of the radiographs of 1215 patients with congenital scoliosis and kyphosis disclosed 298 (25%) to have segmentation defects in the cervical spine. A single level defect was seen in 82 patients, 52 of which were at C2-C3. Of the 298 patients: 235 had scoliosis, (6 cervical, 42 cervicothoracic, 75 thoracic, 4 thoracolumbar and 1 lumbar); 36 had kyphoscoliosis; 10 lordoscoliosis; and 17 pure kyphosis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
