    Fetal development of the human cervical spine and cord.

    Abstract

    The growth of the human vertebral canal and the spinal cord during normal fetal development was studied. The results suggest that these two parts of the developing body exhibit a similar developmental pattern. Computer analysis also revealed that the rate of this parallel growth is considerably lower than that of the body as a whole but similar to that reported for the brain. These results are discussed in relation to the pathogenesis of certain neurological diseases.
