ABSTRACT

Fetal development is adversely affected in infants of diabetic mothers. Poorly controlled diabetes in these mothers increases the incidence of congenital anomalies. The most common congenital anomalies are congenital heart disease, caudal regression syndrome, and central nervous system anomalies. The mortality rate of infants of diabetic mothers with cardiac malformations is higher. Jarcho–Levin syndrome, also known as spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD), is a rare genetic disorder with an unknown cause that manifests with respiratory failure, multiple spines, ribs, and other abnormalities. Here is a case of SCD with multiple congenital anomalies in the infant of a diabetic mother presented.
