An infant with congenital scoliosis. Preoperative radiographs (a, b) and CT 3D reconstruction (c, d) showed fully segmented hemivertebra of T12/L1 and semi-segmented hemivertebra of L4/L5 with coronal segmental scoliosis of 40° and 32° and segmental kyphosis of 32°. Post-operational radiographs (e, f) showed T12/L1 and L4/L5 hemivertebra resection and internal fixation, and the scoliosis decreased to 5° and 2°, and the kyphosis decreased to 11°. Radiographs at 4-year follow-up (g, h) showed good spinal balance with coronal segmental scoliosis of 9° and 2° and segmental kyphosis of 5°
