Abstract

Details of ten new cases of spondylothoracic dysplasia (the Jarcho-Levin syndrome) are presented. During follow-up, lasting between 8 and 21 years, two children in this group died. Our observations did not confirm Heilbronner’s theory concerning the existence of two distinctive types of this syndrome: Type 1 or fatal, and Type 2, with a normal longevity. From the two illustrative cases presented in some detail, and the pertinent literature review, familiarity with spon-dylothoracic dysplasia Is necessary in order to avoid an unjustifiably pessimistic prognosis and to permit correct parent counseling.
