What is Hemivertebra?

The spine is composed of vertebrae stacked vertically like building blocks. Ideally, each vertebra should be of equal height on both sides. However, when one side of a vertebra fails to develop, it creates an imbalance, causing the spine to destabilize and bend to one side. This condition, known as hemivertebra, typically occurs due to congenital underdevelopment of one half of the vertebra. Hemivertebra can lead to a spinal deformity called congenital scoliosis.
