Abstract Background Congenital scoliosis ( CS ) is defined as lateral curvatures of the spine provoked by the anomalous development of the vertebral bodies. It is associated with neuromuscular anomalies, which can be genetic, caused by the compensation of discrepancies in the length of the extremities or intrarachidian anomalies. Methods This study was carried out in 2‐year‐old female, showed alterations in the gait, mainly in the hind limbs, a clumsy gait and a slight claudication in the right hindlimb. To perform the imaging study were: X ‐ R ay projections and C omputerized A xial T omography, neurophysiological evaluation was performed by means somatosensory‐evoked potentials of the tibial nerve ( SEPTN ). Results The results showed an enlargement of the latencies from the L 5 to the cortex, mainly in the left afference, correlated with the imaging studies. Conclusions There is no doubt that the concurrent use of different diagnostic tools complements knowledge regarding the physiopathogenesis of these osteopathologies.
