Abstract
Diastematomyelia is a rare but potentially devastating spinal dysraphism classically characterized as a bony or fibrous spur separating two hemispinal cords. This study reviews our experience with diastematomyelia over a 40-year period from 1947 through 1987, and suggests that the neurologic and orthopedic deficits of diastematomyelia remain stable during extended follow-up after surgery.Entities:
