Abstract

An unusual case of cervical diplomyelia diagnosed by Computed Tomography (CT) is reported.

The usefulness of CT examination in the evaluation of spinal dysraphic defects is emphasized, though performed without CSF enhancement.

Visualisation of spinal cord splitting in the absence of bony spicula allows the authors to differentiate between diplomyelia and diastematomyelia which have been often described by using both terms interchangeably.

Key words

Diplomyelia - Computed tomography - Diastematomyelia
