Abstract:
Diastematomyelia is an uncommon congenital malformation of the neural axis manifested by separation of the lateral halves of the spinal cord. A case is presented in which the complaint was increasing curvature of the spine. Preoperative diagnosis of this lesion was established by roentgenography. The condition is a serious congenital abnormality which is susceptible to treatment and, therefore, early diagnosis is of practical importance.
