Abstract

Spinal cord dysraphism includes congenital disorders of the spinal cord that can develop altered neurologic function or spinal deformity. Dysraphisms such as syringomyelia, tether spinal cord, and diastematomyelia each presents with unique spinal cord findings and treatments. Neurologic consequences of these disorders include scoliosis, kyphosis, increasing neurologic deficits, sphincter incontinence, or pain. Magnetic resonance imaging is typically the best tool to identify these congenital spinal cord abnormalities as well as for developmental syringomyelia. Evaluation and consideration for treatment of these spinal cord abnormalities should always be done prior to surgery intended to alter the contour of the spine in a spinal deformity.
