Congenital scoliosis is one of the most common deformities of the spine in children. Intraspinal anomalies are always accompanied with congenital scoliosis. Diastematomyelia is one of the most common intraspinal pathologies in congenital scoliosis. To date, there is no standard method for correcting the congenital spinal deformity associated with diastematomyelia. We present a clinical case of simultaneous correction of congenital scoliosis by an internal corrector with excision of diastematomyelia. The patient tolerated the surgery well without any complications. She was discharged home with improved symptoms without need for additional therapy. The patients guardians consented to the procedure and to the publication of her image.
