Diastematomyelia

Abstract

From 1963 to 1982, 7 patients with diastematomyelia were treated. This anomaly is very rare and caractherized by a duplication of the spinal cord with a band or a spur which is attached to the corpus of the vertebra. Skin lesious in the regioh of the malformation, congenital anomalies of the vertebral column and progressif neurologic signs in lower limbs are seen in the cilinical picture. For these entity the myelography is the most important diagnostic technique. Because of the difference between the growth rates of the bony vertebral conal and the spinal cord, in the neurologic signs appear and become more serious. So, the surgical intervention which is the only form of treatment, most be done as soon os the diagnosis is made. The obstacle which pulls down the spinal cord should be resected.
