Few reports have described the involvement of syringomyelia associated with diastematomyelia in the etiology of neurological deficits. We reported a case with syringomyelia associated with diastematomyelia. A female patient with diastematomyelia was followed up clinically over 14 years. At the age of 8, she developed clubfoot deformity with neurological deterioration. Motor function of the righ...

Diastematomyelia is a relatively rare congenital abnormality presenting as a sagittal separation of the spinal cord. Although cases of diastematomyelia have been previously reported, fully documented approaches by both prenatal and postnatal diagnostic workup are rare in the literature. We present a fully studied case of diastematomyelia type I investigated by prenatal US and MRI and postnatal ...

ongenital midline cutaneous paraspinal lesions, mostly located in the lumbosacral areas, are widely recognized as markers of occult spinal dysraphism. Diastematomyelia, or a split spinal cord, is an unusual congenital spinal abnormality in which the spinal cord is divided into 2 columns by a fibrous, cartilaginous, or bony septum. In most cases, lesions are located on the lower thoracic and upp...

Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital deformity of the spine in which spinal cord split into two hemicords along sagittal plane. This condition belongs to group dysraphisms, more common females, and usually diagnosed prenatally or during childhood; rarely it adults. We report male patient his 50s diastematomyelia thoracic was incidentally encountered after receiving CT scan chest for shortness ...

Congenital elevation of the scapula was first described by Eulenburg in 1 863 and there have been many descriptions and reviews of the literature since then (Horwitz 1908; Cavendish i972; Ross and Cruess 1 977). The condition is usually known as Sprengel’ s shoulder (Sprengel i891), and because it is clinically recognisable and partiafly impairs function it is more familiar to orthopaedic surge...

BACKGROUND Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital malformation of the spinal cord, which belongs to the group of occult spinal dysraphisms. This disorder consists in the separation of the spinal cord into two parts in the sagittal plane (hemicords). Diastematomyelia may coexist with other spinal dysraphisms, such as myelomeningocele, meningocele, spinal lipoma, neuroenteric cysts or dermal sinus...
