STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVES: To report and discuss a case of thoracic hemivertebra in monozygotic twins. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The etiology of congenital scoliosis remains unclear. Both a genetic basis and environmental influences have been postulated. A few isolated reports of discordant spinal anomalies in twins exist. METHODS: Clinical examination and plain radiograph evaluation were performed on female monozygotic twins with congenital scoliosis secondary to thoracic hemivertebra. RESULTS: Congenital thoracic scoliosis was documented in both of a set of monozygotic twins. CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of similar congenital vertebral abnormalities in identical twins in the English literature. |
