Objective: Split cord malformation (SCM) is a rare form of closed neural tube defect characterized by a sagittal splitting of the spinal cord. Pang’s classification distinguishes a type I SCM (diastematomyelia with septum) and a type II SCM (true diplomyelia). SCM typically presents in childhood and, rarely, in aduls.
