Sonography of the spine and spinal cord

B N Raghavendra et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

Sonography has proved to be a valuable method for the examination of the spine in children with spinal dysraphism. It facilitates the diagnosis of meningocele, lipoma, and/or spinal cord tethering rapidly and noninvasively. It is suggested that sonography be utilized for screening infants with neurocutaneous signature of spinal dysraphism.
