Rare Neural Tube Defect: Type I Split Cord Malformation and Spinal Neurenteric Cyst in an Adult
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. Neurenteric cysts are composed of heterotopic endodermal tissue. They usually have an intradural extramedullary location, ventrally or view moreĀ»
