How to diagnose congenital scoliosis in newborns?

Answer

The diagnosis of congenital scoliosis in newborns typically requires a series of examinations, including fetal ultrasound, postnatal physical examinations, and possibly genetic testing. In some cases, newborns may exhibit specific signs such as short limbs, which can help doctors make an initial diagnosis. However, a definitive diagnosis usually requires detailed physical examinations and specialized tests to confirm.
