Abstract
Excision of hemivertebra at an early age offers acute correction of the deformity and prevention of secondary curve development. This limits the amount of fusion required otherwise in the long run and saves fusion levels and permit adequate lung development. Here is a case of fully segmented hemivertebra in a one and a half year old child with eleven years of follow up. The literature reports correction of congenital scoliosis by hemivertebra excision after 2 years of age.
