Jarcho-Levin syndrome: a new case report with unusual unexplained aortic root dilatation.
Since Jarcho and Levin described a condition involving extensive vertebral malformations and early death in 1938, many cases have been reported using multiple synonyms. Later, Solomon (3) proposed a subtype classification system to improve counseling concerning risk of recurrence, management, and prognosis. This is a report of a new Hispanic case with findings of spondylothoracic dysostosis and unusual aortic root dilatation.
