 | | Hence, cardiac anomalies are often associated with congenital scoliosis of the thoracic spine and renal anomalies are often associated with congenital malformation of the lumbar spine. | | | Congenital deformities of the spine are caused by anomalous vertebral development in the embryo. | | | Congenital scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine caused by congenital anomalies of vertebral development. |

| | Deformities like cleft lip, cleft palate, club foot, extrophy of the urinary bladder, ano-rectal malformation, arterio-venous malformations etc., which either influence proper development of the child or hamper vital functions, are subjected to an early surgical procedure. | | | You will be surprised to know that many children with severe congenital deformities adapt to their deformities so well by natural development, that any surgical or external interference would hamper rather than help functioning of these children. | | | Most commonly seen congenital deformities of the external genital organs are hypospadias i.e. |

| | Congenitally fused ribs typically cause curvature of the spine toward the area of involvement. | | | Experience thus far suggests that this procedure is an alternative to early arthrodesis for some severe and complex congenital spinal and chest wall deformities, and may be an effective surgical treatment for TIS associated with Jarcho-Levin, Jeune and other constrictive thorax syndromes. | | | The term thoracic insufficiency syndrome was first introduced in 1993 by Campbell 1 to describe the inability of the thorax to satisfactorily support lung growth, respiratory function or spine development due to congenital and acquired chest wall, spine and other syndromic deformities. |

| | The most common deformity of congenitally microtic auricle is a longitudinal fold of skin (peanut ear) that contains a markedly disfigured auricular cartilaginous remnant that is usually anatomically located in the position of what one might anticipate as the external auditory canal. | | | Goals of auricular reconstruction The rehabilitation of the congenital or acquired auricular deformity requires a multistaged surgical reconstruction or the use of a prosthesis. | | | Acquired deformities of the auricle present special problems differing from microtia in the fact that many times skin coverage is deficient. |

| | Etiology of Congenital Scoliosis pg. 37--42 |
| | Congenital scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine that is due to the presence of vertebral anomalies that cause an imbalance in the longitudinal growth of the spine. | | | Early surgical intervention for children with congenital deformities that have a poor prognosis allows for additional growth in the involved areas of the spine. | | | Children with congenital scoliosis tend to have their curvature noted much earlier in life than the typical child with idiopathic scoliosis or neuromuscular scoliosis. |
