What other abnormalities are associated with hemivertabra/congenital scoliosis?
My daughter was born in January 2006. In July of 2006 through a routine chest x-ray she was diagnosed with hemivertabra at T3 (vertabra not fully formed) and a missing rib. She saw the pediatric orthopeadic doctor 3 times. At 16 months she died of sepsis as a result of undiagnosed asplenia (absence of spleen). I am wondering if her doctor should have ordered other tests when the scoliosis was diagnosed.
