Abstract
Spondylocostal dysostosis is a rare congenital segmental costovertebral malformation. Neural tube defects associated with it have been reported several times, and a genetic cause has been proposed. The authors report on the first patient with both spondylocostal dysostosis and an intrathoracic myelomeningocele in whom surgical treatment was successful.Entities:
