Clin Genet. 1989 Oct;36(4):236-41. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1989.tb03196.x.

Abstract

This report gives a description of a three-generation family in which spondylocostal dysostosis associated with previously unreported neurological complaints occurred in five family members, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance. A review of the literature is presented and previously unreported neurological complaints, e.g. neurogenic claudicatio, are emphasized.
