Abstract

A 5-year-old child born with craniosynostosis and multiple congenital vertebral abnormalities was evaluated for spinal deformity. Full spine plain-film radiographs showed a complex deformity with double-fixed left thoracic and right lumbar curves. MDCT was performed to evaluate bone congenital abnormalities and full spine MRI was performed to rule out cord abnormalities.
