[Two cases of vertebral agenesis]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedics
• Developmental Biology
• Pediatric Surgery

Background:

• Vertebral agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly impacting spinal development.
• Partial agenesis of the lumbosacrococcygeal and sacrococcygeal spine presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.

Observation:

• Two pediatric patients presented with distinct forms of partial vertebral agenesis.
• Case 1: Partial lumbosacrococcygeal agenesis with associated deformities.
• Case 2: Partial sacrococcygeal agenesis with detailed description of deformities.

Findings:

• Detailed description of the anatomical deformities in both cases of partial vertebral agenesis.
• Successful surgical correction was performed in the case of partial sacrococcygeal agenesis, addressing the observed deformities.

Implications:

• Highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and characterization of vertebral agenesis.
• Demonstrates the feasibility and outcomes of surgical intervention for specific types of sacral agenesis.
• Contributes to the understanding of spinal malformations and their management strategies.
