Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs obtained at 6 months of age demonstrating multiple, asymmetric vertebral segmentation defects of the thoracolumbar vertebra accompanied by asymmetric rib deformities, partial distal sacral agenesis, and fused cervical vertebrae.

Since our patient was healthy and without other congenital anomalies, she was conservatively followed with serial radiographic evaluations every 6 months (Figure 1).

Coronal computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest and abdomen taken at 28 years of age illustrating the vertebral segmentation defects and a stable scoliotic curve. What appeared to be disc spacing has mostly undergone segmental fusions.

At the time, computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and a posteroanterior (PA) chest film were obtained which illustrated her known vertebral, costal, and pelvic anomalies with no evidence of acute fractures (Figures 2-4).
Lateral cervical spine and sagittal CT scan of the cervical vertebrae showing fusion of C2-C3, C4-C5, and C6-C7.

At the time, computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and a posteroanterior (PA) chest film were obtained which illustrated her known vertebral, costal, and pelvic anomalies with no evidence of acute fractures (Figures 2-4).
Coronal and sagittal CT scan of the thoracolumbar spine and sacrum demonstrating a variety of vertebral segmentation defects including hemi-, wedge-, butterfly-, and block vertebra.

Radiographs illustrated a nondisplaced fracture of the right 7th rib near the costochondral junction which was managed conservatively with NSAIDs (Figure 5).
