Diastematomyelia is said to produce neurological lesions. Several new cases of diastematomyelia are reported without any neurological defect. They are discussed and compared with similar cases from the literature. Apparently the fixation of the spinal cord by diastematomyelia seems not to be the primary cause of the "tethering cord syndrome". Other conditions which are sometimes associated with diastematomyelia (myelodysplasia, dysraphia of the spinal cord etc.) may be the primary cause of progressive neurological lesions.
脊髓纵裂据说会导致神经损伤。本文报告了几例无任何神经缺陷的脊髓纵裂新病例。对这些病例进行了讨论，并与文献中的类似病例进行了比较。显然，脊髓纵裂对脊髓的固定似乎不是“脊髓拴系综合征”的主要原因。其他有时与脊髓纵裂相关的情况（脊髓发育不良、脊髓闭合不全等）可能是进行性神经损伤的主要原因。
