Dear Joanna:
Sorry to hear about your daughter. i am not sure what your asking. Scoliosis does not disappear. Surgery can correct it but the abnormal spine remains, although straight. Hemivertebrae are congenital and do not develop over time. Hypotonia can be found in congenital syndromes, especially disorders of secondary neuralation, but also can be found in many other diseases. I would have to refer you to your pediatric neurologist who knows more of the history and the neurological workup thus far.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD
