Split cord malformations (SCMs) are rare congenital abnormalities arising from a primary neurulation defect during embryological development of the spinal cord. SCMs can lead to progressively worsening scoliosis and gait difficulties if left untreated. We report on two patients who atypically presented with SCM in adulthood and review previous reports.
脊髓纵裂畸形(SCMs)是一种罕见的先天性异常,由脊髓胚胎发育过程中的原发性神经管缺陷引起。如果不进行治疗,脊髓纵裂畸形可导致脊柱侧弯和步态困难逐渐加重。我们报告了两名成年期非典型表现为脊髓纵裂畸形的患者,并回顾了既往报告。
