Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital spinal cord malformation, classified as type I or type II, with over half of the cases considered type I. However, type I diastematomyelia with breast abnormality and clubfoot is extremely rare in clinical practice.
We admitted an 18-year-old female patient with type I diastematomyelia with breast abnormalities and clubfoot. She was underwent surgical treatment. After the surgical removal of the pressure-causing bone spur, the weakness of the right lower limb was significantly relieved. During the 22-month follow-up, there was no complication and no recurrence.
Surgical removal of the pressure-causing bone spur can relieve symptoms in the lower limbs. However, further research is warranted to explore the breast abnormalities in patients with diastematomyelia.
脊髓纵裂是一种罕见的先天性脊髓畸形,分为I型或II型,超过半数病例为I型。然而,伴有乳房异常和马蹄内翻足的I型脊髓纵裂在临床实践中极为罕见。
我们收治了一名患有伴有乳房异常和马蹄内翻足的I型脊髓纵裂的18岁女性患者。她接受了手术治疗。手术切除引起压迫的骨赘后,右下肢无力症状明显缓解。在22个月的随访期间,未出现并发症且无复发。
手术切除引起压迫的骨赘可缓解下肢症状。然而,有必要进一步研究以探索脊髓纵裂患者的乳房异常情况。
