Hi,

Thanks for your quesiton.

Unless the vertebral abnormalities in your daughter spine cause a significant scoliosis they may not require any treatment.

It is important that she at some point has an MRI of her spine to make sure that the structure and position of her spinal cord is normal and an ultrasound scan of her abdomen to ensure that her abdominal organs are normal as there can be associated abdnormalities in these locations assocaited with the congential spinal problem.

I hope this answers your question.

Best wishes.
