The bicentenary of Carl Rokitansky's birth prompted us to evaluate his less well-known work related to osteopathology. Of various articles containing humoropathological interpretations of osseous diseases, one work should be highlighted. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first description of a spondylocostal dysplasia, re-discovered many years later, precisely described and accompanied by an excellent illustration.
