Abstract
We report a case of a neonate with sectional narrowing of the spinal cord o n the level of T12 to L2 and a deformed vertebral body on a different level , L4. In previously described cases of sectional spinal dysgenesis, the ver tebral and spinal cord malformations are usually found on the same level. O ur case may represent a new variant of spinal dysgenesis.
