Prenatal diagnosis of diastematomyelia: A case report and review of the literature
2012
Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital disorder in which the spinal cord is divided longitudinally for part of its length. It can be accurately identified in the prenatal period by detailed sonographic examination of the spine. We report a case of diastematomyelia localized to spinal levels T6-T9 diagnosed prenatally at 31 weeks' gestation and review the existing literature on the diagnosis and management of this condition during pregnancy. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
