ICVAS clinical classification algorithm

All forms of SDV can be placed in one of seven broad categories. The classification combines a descriptive approach for the diverse radiologic phenotypes encountered in clinical practice with specific diagnoses where the genotype and/or syndrome is clearly established. For any given case a radiologic report also includes a specific description of the site and nature of the vertebral anomalies.

G = generalized; M = multiple; R = regional; S = single; SDV = segmentation defect(s) of the vertebrae; U = undefined
