Congenital Vertical Talus (CVT), also known as congenital convex pes valgus, is a rare foot deformity that is present at birth. It occurs due to a combination of neuromuscular and/or chromosomal abnormalities that affect the development of the bones, joints, and muscles in the foot.

CVT is characterized by a rigid flatfoot deformity, where the foot is pointed upwards and the heel is turned inwards. This results in a rocker-bottom appearance of the foot. The deformity can be painful and make it difficult to walk or wear shoes.

CVT is usually diagnosed at birth or shortly thereafter.

The exact cause of CVT is not known, but it is believed to be a result of abnormal development of the foot while in the womb.

Symptoms of CVT include a visible deformity in the foot, difficulty in walking, and pain.

If left untreated, CVT can lead to significant foot deformities, muscle imbalances, and arthritis.

Treatment options for CVT include manipulation, casting, and surgery. Manipulation and casting are usually the first line of treatment for infants. In severe cases or cases where manipulation and casting have been unsuccessful, surgery may be required.
