agree  Cetacea: "Dysrahien" is very probably a typo for "Dysraphien", so dysraphia(s) is correct.

neutral  Cetacea: The plural of "dysraphia" is simply "dysraphias"... // It's either syndrome or disease, but "syndrome of a disease" is nonsense, sorry.

  -> I tried to explane that the name of this desease is dysraphia syndromes, deriving from this the German name was plural, too. But you can't call it dysraphias for this reason!
