Congenital malformations of the lumbosacral spine include spinal dysraphism and caudal anomalies. Most often, these malformations are discovered prenatally or in early infancy, but some are not diagnosed until late childhood or adulthood. The purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate the multi-modality imaging characteristics in these complex anomalies and to provide a systematic radiological approach aiming at improving diagnostic accuracy.
腰骶椎先天性畸形包括脊柱裂和尾部异常。这些畸形大多在产前或婴儿早期被发现，但有些直到儿童晚期或成年期才被诊断出来。本图像综述的目的是阐述这些复杂畸形的多模态成像特征，并提供一种旨在提高诊断准确性的系统放射学方法。
