Abstract
Atlas dislocation was observed in 14 of 70 mongoloid individuals of various ages. In addition, Scheuermann-like lesions, probably representing Schmorl's nodes, were present in young adults in the cervical and dorsolumbar segments of the spine. These were conspicuously absent in childhood. Possible pathogenetic factors are discussed.Keywords
