pedicle; T3 – agenesis of the right arch; T4 – absence of the right pedicle, and a cleft of its arch; T5, T7 and T12 – agenesis of
the right half of the body, hypoplasia of the right half, and defect of the left arch; T6 – a vertical cleft of the body, agenesis of
its arch, and enlarged vertebral foramen; T8 – a defect of the left arch, and enlarged vertebral foramen; T10 and T11 – absence
of the arches, a cleft of the right half of the body (T11), and duplication of the vertebral foramen; T12 – duplication of the
vertebral foramen; L1 – small defect of the right half of the body, arch agenesis, and duplication of the vertebral foramen; L3 – a
mediosagittal cleft of its arch; L4 – agenesis of the left arch; S3 – a mediosagittal cleft of the body; from L5 to S3 – a complete
