case_images: 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.

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

case_images: 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.

case_images: 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).
case_images: Lateral cervical spine and sagittal CT scan of the cervical vertebrae showing fusion of C2-C3, C4-C5, and C6-C7.

case_images: 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).
case_images: 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.

case_images: 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).
case_images: PA and lateral chest radiograph illustrating the asymmetric rib deformities including posteriorly fused and malformed ribs.

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