Monosomy 1p36 deletion is a rare syndrome that consists of developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, hearing and vision defects, brain anomalies, orofacial clefting, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy, renal anomalies, and scoliosis. We report the case of an eight-year-old boy who presented to the orthopedic clinic with spinal deformity with a background of 1p36 deletion syndrome. The treatment modalities at this age include growing rods, vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR), or posterior spinal fusion. Keeping in view the challenges in this case due to multi-organ involvement and severe intellectual disability, we decided to manage this patient with a VEPTR device to prevent the progression of scoliosis and allow spinal growth.Vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR) instrumentation for progressive scoliosis in p36 deletion syndrome is an effective mode of treatment and leads to favorable outcomes.
