Split cord malformation type 1 with two hemicord lesions

Uppar Am et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

Split cord malformations are rare entities which may present in an occult manner or in association with other lesions or congenital anomalies. Rarely, these cases may have associated hemicord lesions. We report an unusual case, the first of its kind, a type 1 split cord malformation with two pathologically different lesions (lipoma and dermoid) on one hemicord.

Keywords: Dermoid; Dorsal spur; Hemicord; Lipoma; Split cord malformation.
