title: Hereditary spinal osteochondromas in diaphyseal aclasia.
abstract: We present cases of cervical cord compression in father and son with diaphyseal aclasia. Both patients were investigated with plain radiography, CT and MRI. We believe this to be the first report of spinal cord compression in first-degree relatives with diaphyseal aclasia.
