Abstract EN
We report on an isolated chest-wall asymmetry with imaging findings of multiple vertebral and related rib defects in an Ivorian male newborn.
He was born of a healthy and young couple without parental lineage, neither family malformative history nor teratogen exposure.
This clinical presentation advocates Jarcho-Levin syndrome, a rare sporadic or familial disorder inherited as autosomal dominant or recessive mode and manifested by extensive vertebral segmentation defects with distinctive rib structural and morphological anomalies.
According to our belief, this disorder has not been previously traced in the sub-Saharan African area.
