Two cases of diastematomyelia with adult onset are added to the 19 patients already reported in the literature. Seventeen of them exhibited a neurological deficit, whereas our patients presented with low back pain only. Cutaneous, neuromuscular and/or radiological signs of spinal dysraphysm were found in all patients with adult diastematomyelia. If the presence of these signs were to receive more attention, more cases of adult diastematomyelia would be recognized.
两例成人发病的脊髓纵裂病例被补充到文献中已报道的19例患者中。其中17例有神经功能缺损，而我们的患者仅表现为腰痛。在所有成人脊髓纵裂患者中均发现了皮肤、神经肌肉和/或脊柱发育异常的放射学征象。如果这些征象能得到更多关注，将会识别出更多成人脊髓纵裂病例。
