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.
