Extraskeletical malformations in the Jarcho-Levin syndrome: postmortem study of three cases.
We report on pathologic examination of three autopsied newborns with Jarcho-Levin syndrome. The most important abnormalities noted were multiple extraskeletical defects such as cardiovascular, urogenital, respiratory, and central nervous system malformations. These cases add new information to the multiple vertebral segmentation defects found in this syndrome.
