Material and Methods: 'Congenital spinal anomalies' and 'congenital spinal abnormalities' were used as search words in the Web of Science database. The 50 most cited articles were analyzed. The study was carried out in May 2020. The publications in the study covered the years between 1990-2020. For all the articles, the journal in which they were published, the number of citations, the year of publication, the country of origin for citations, the level of evidence, and the type of study were recorded. Results: After searching in the Web of Science database, 1632 articles were found in the search results. The number of citations of the articles ranged from 35 to 391. The most cited article was by Bowman et al. titled 'Spina bifida outcome: 25-year prospective' published in Pediatric Neurosurgery in 2001. The most published journal was the 'Spine' journal. Twenty-six (52%) articles were conducted in the United States of America. The main focus of the articles was on congenital segmentation defects. Original research articles (n 31) were the most common study type. Discussion: Congenital spinal anomalies are difficult to diagnose and treat in spinal diseases. Analyzing the studies conducted in the literature will show, which topics are needed for more research and will guide the authors.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCongenital Spinal AnomaliesSpine AbnormalitiesMost CitedAnomalyArticle12111311131410.4328/ACAM.20705WOS:000732422900024N/A
