The author recommends in his proposal of uniform criteria to evaluate pathological changes of the spine according to a pattern where the first place is held by morphological changes (unevenness of the covering plates, changes in the shape of bodies of the vertebrae, changes in the height of disc and changes in the curvature of the spine). The second place in held by functional changes and the third one by the general extent and quality of pathological changes. In the latter group the author draws attention to the appearance of a stigmatized spine. It is essentially an abortive form of vertebral dysostosis with frust not very marked morphological symptoms. He draws attention to the importance of this form for explanation of an obscure vertebral algic syndrome, in particular in children. The unform evaluation of these pathological changes should help to establish order in the hitherto controversial problem of evaluation of vertebral dysostosis.
