Congenital malformations of the spine and bony thorax are abnormalities that occur during fetal development. These malformations can affect the bony structures like the spine and ribs, or the soft tissues like the muscles and nerves. These conditions can lead to a range of problems, including pain, deformity, and breathing difficulties.
If you or your child has been diagnosed with a congenital malformation of the spine or bony thorax, it is important to talk to a doctor about treatment options. With the right treatment and care, many people with these conditions can lead healthy, active lives.
