Abstract
We report a 5-year-old male child with absent rib, hemivertebra, superior lumbar hernia (features of lumbocostovertebral syndrome) and posterior spinal dysraphism, which is the second case in the English literature with such a combination of defects. Radiology and management of the case is discussed.
