Abstract

A case of myelodysplasia with other congenital deformities is reported in a 3 month-old male infant. Except spina bifida with myelomeningocele and marked scoliosis of the spine in the thoracolumbar region, the observed deformities were hydrocephalus of suggestive obstructive type, talipes equinovarus of right foot, one extra-nipple of right chest wall, defected and fused ribs of right thorax and unusually elevated right scapula (SprengeFs deformity). A brief review of the related literatures is also included.
