Abstract

<p> Spondylocostal dysostosis（SCDO）is a rare disorder characterized by multiple vertebral malformations and rib deformities. We present two infants with SCDO and spinal abnormalities. One had defects and deformities of vertebrae and ribs, low-lying conus, spinal lipoma, and cleft foot. The other had defects and deformations of vertebrae and ribs, low-lying conus, lipomyelomeningocele, and unilateral renal aplasia. Both cases showed minor external findings, such as a deviated gluteal cleft or shallow sacral dimple in the lower back, but had spinal cord abnormalities that were found by ultrasound examination in the neonatal period. Although spinal cord abnormality in SCDO is reported to be rare, screening by ultrasound in the neonatal period is useful for diagnosis and management.</p>
