Sprengel’s Deformity With Congenital Scoliosis Successfully Treated With Combined Posterior Spinal Instrumented Fusion and Modified Woodward’s Procedure in a 14-Year-Old Patient With MURCS Association

Sumario: | Müllerian duct aplasia-renal agenesis-cervicothoracic somite dysplasia (MURCS) association is a rare syndrome. This unique condition consists of Müllerian duct aplasia, cervicothoracic somite dysplasia, and renal aplasia, and skeletal abnormalities manifesting in childhood. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented to the orthopedic clinic with spinal deformity and Sprengel’s shoulder complicated by a background of MURCS association. The treatment modalities of scoliosis include posterior spinal fusion and the vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib. On the other hand, Sprengel’s deformity is surgically managed by Woodward’s procedure. The management plan for our patient involved correcting scoliosis by the posterior spinal fusion procedure and performing Woodward’s procedure to correct Sprengel’s deformity simultaneously. Simultaneous scoliosis correction with posterior spinal instrumented fusion and Sprengel's deformity correction with modified Woodward’s procedure is a promising surgical technique that can lead to favorable outcomes. |
