Spinale Sonografie bei Neugeborenen mit lumbosakralen Hautveränderungen

Okkulte spinale Dysrhaphien (OSD) können unentdeckt zu einem Tethered Cord führen und neurologische Ausfälle hervorrufen, die – wenn sie bereits eingetreten sind – oft irreversibel sind. Aus diesem Grund müssen OSD frühzeitig diagnostiziert werden. Der Beitrag geht ausführlich auf die kutanen Auffälligkeiten und sonografischen Befunde ein, um die betroffenen Neugeborenen sicher zu erkennen und der weiteren Diagnostik und Therapie zuzuführen.
