• spina bifida occulta
  11 January 2007

  Definition: Spina bifida occulta occurs most often at S1, S2, or both and is a bony defect of the spine, usually covered by normal skin. One or more vertebrae are malformed and covered by a layer of skin.
  This is a vertebral defect resulting from failure of the two halves of the vertebral arch to fuse, usually in the sacral, lumbar, and cervical regions. This defect occurs in about 10 percent of people. In its most minor form, there is no defect in the skin, and the only evidence of its (...)

• diastematomyelia
  9 February 2006

  Diastomatomyelia is a congenital disorder in which a part of the spinal cord is split, usually at the level of the upper lumbar vertebra.
  Diastomatomyelia is a rare congenital anomaly that results in the "splitting" of the spinal cord in a longitudinal (sagittal) direction. Females are affected much more commonly than males.
  This condition occurs in the presence of an osseous (bone), cartilaginous or fibrous septum in the central portion of the spinal canal which then produces a complete (...)
