Abstract
Congenital spinal canal stenosis is a very rare vertebral disorder. The etiology is not clearly defined. Genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors have all been presumed to play a role in the evolution of this defect. The incidence of congenital spinal canal stenosis is also unknown. To our knowledge, there are no prenatally described cases in literature. We report two unusual cases of congenital spinal canal stenosis associated with rib and vertebral anomalies. Both presented with vertebral anomalies at the thoracic level, congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) and rib anomalies. In view of multiple anomalies, both the pregnancies were terminated and the diagnosis was confirmed by postnatal pathological examination.
