[A report on the syndroma of narrow spinal canal at congenital chondrodystrophy (author's transl)].

It is reported on a case of congenital chondrodystrophy associated with a narrow spinal canal.

In cases with clinical signs of spinal--or nerve nerve root compression, complete laminectomy is indicated.
