Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic methods and surgical efficacies of dermal sinus tracts.MethodsThe clinical data of 15 hospitalized children with dermal sinus tracts from January 2015 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.All children received preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination and underwent dermal sinus tract resection.ResultsAll cases were confirmed by imaging examinations.The concurrent conditions included dermoid cyst (n=5),lipoma (n=2),diastematomyelia (n=1) and ectattic central canal (n=1).Threedimensional computed tomography (CT) spinal reconstruction revealed complicated diastematomyelia (n=10).Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of dermal sinus tracts.And microscopic examination revealed hair stem,sinus tract and adjoining tissues with inflammatory granulation.During a followup period of 6-12 months,the symptoms disappeared or improved significantly after operation.No recurrence of sinus tract was found.ConclusionEarly diagnosis and surgical treatment of dermal sinus in children can improve the prognosis and reduce the occurrence of serious complications.
