متن کاملCatastrophic Intramedullary Abscess Caused by a Missed Congenital Dermal Sinus
Congenital dermal sinus (CDS) is a type of occult spinal dysraphism characterized by a midline skin dimple. A 12-month-old girl presented with fever and ascending quadriparesis. She had a midline skin dimple in the upper sacral area that had been discovered in her neonatal period. Imaging studies revealed a holocord intramedullary abscess and CDS. Overlooking CDS or misdiagnosing it as benign s...
متن کاملMR of multiple intraspinal abscesses associated with congenital dermal sinus.
We describe the MR features in a case of multiple intraspinal abscesses involving almost the whole of the spinal cord in a 3-year-old child. The presence of a dermal sinus helped us in the preoperative diagnosis.
