- Abstract:
- As one type of neural tube malformations,split cord is characterized by an intraspinal appearance of abnormal bony,fibrotic/bony and fibrotic partipitions.As a result,segmental divisions into two parts impacts,compresses and stretches spinal cord,leading to the syndrome of tethered spinal cord.Once diagnosed definitely,surgery is a sole effective option.And operative principles include resecting bony partitions and all soft tissues,removing all tethering factors,preventing operative complications,reserving small spinal joints and maintaining spinal stability.Common issues and countermeasures of split cord malformations are discussed to boost the correct and effective diagnostic rates and lower the odds of operative complications.
