A Distribution of the age at diagnosis in patients with CS caused by isolated HV. B Distribution of side and location of enrolled hemivertebrae. Intrinsic HV indicated that the total number of vertebrae including the HV was normal (equal to or less than 12 thoracic and 5 lumbar vertebrae) and the HV was numbered by the corresponding vertebral level, e.g. T12; Excess HV indicated that the HV was a supernumerary segment in addition to the 17 or more normally developed thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and thus was numbered by the corresponding intervertebral space, e.g. T12-L1
