Rare Congenital and Developmental Spine Disorders

Congenital malformations of the spine comprise a large and diverse set of anomalies. Each part of the developmental process can give rise to a variety of pathologic states, and each state can present with a different clinical picture. Congenital and developmental spine disorders refer to abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord that are present at birth or develop in early childhood due to defective formation or closure of the neural tube during fetal life. These conditions are often rare and may affect the vertebral column, spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding soft tissue structures, causing significant neurological and orthopedic complications if not treated timely. In Bangladesh, such disorders are often diagnosed late, misinterpreted as orthopedic problems, or left untreated due to lack of pediatric neurosurgical expertise outside major medical centers.
