This document provides a review and update on congenital scoliosis. It begins by classifying vertebral anomalies causing congenital scoliosis into failures of formation, segmentation, or both. The natural history and progression of curves depends on the type and location of the anomaly. Patient evaluation focuses on physical exam, imaging to identify the anomaly, and screening for associated anomalies. Surgical treatment aims to intervene early before large curves develop and utilizes modern techniques like spinal instrumentation.
