title: Neural defects in Jarcho-Levin syndrome.
abstract: Neuropathologic examination of two autopsied patients with Jarcho-Levin syndrome showed no pathologic changes in the brain, spinal cord, or nerve roots of one and diastematomyelia of the thoracolumbar spinal cord in the other. The abnormalities of the spinal cord in one of our patients and in another patient described in the literature establish neural defects as a component of the Jarcho-Levin syndrome.
