    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Congenital vertebral anomalies are rare developmental abnormalities of the spine.
    • Butterfly vertebra is a specific type characterized by sagittal non-segmentation, resulting in a butterfly-like shape.

    Observation:

    • A case presentation of a patient with a butterfly vertebra is described.
    • Radiographic imaging, including computed tomography (CT), is utilized to visualize the anomaly.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the embryology and pathogenesis of vertebral development.
    • It highlights the specific developmental processes leading to butterfly vertebra formation.
    • Clinical manifestations associated with this vertebral anomaly are examined.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the embryology aids in diagnosing and managing vertebral abnormalities.
    • Radiographic findings are crucial for identifying and characterizing butterfly vertebrae.
    • Knowledge of clinical manifestations helps in patient care and prognosis.
