Long segment composite split cord malformation with double bony spur
A composite type of SCM is very rare and only a few cases have been reported until today. The frequency of compositetype SCM is lower than 1% in the literature. In this report, we presented an unusual case of long segment composite type split cord malformation with double level bony spur with multiple associated bony anomalies.

متن کاملSplit cord malformation type I distal to segmental myelomeningocele

Split cord malformation distal to the MMC is considered to be the rarest form of such a combination. We report a case of SCM (type I) distal to the MMC diagnosed pre-operatively. Repair of the MMC and the SCM were carried out in the same se...
