Abstract

Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital anomaly that results in the splitting of the spinal cord in a longitudinal (sagittal direction). It is also known as a split cord malformation, refers to a type of spinal dysraphism (spina bifida occulta) when there is a longitudinal split in the spinal cord. We report a case of new born female baby with Diastematomyelia type 1 associated with low lying conus, tethered cord and dorsal dermal sinus.
