The case of an infant with a dermal sinus tract, recurrent meningitis, ascending myelitis and a fatal outcome is described. The extraordinary extent of the cord affection with abscesses up to the level of the lower brainstem, and the presence of squamous epithelium within them, is difficult to explain on the basis of current concepts of the formation of dysraphic dermal sinus tracts. Morphogenetic, clinical and radiological aspects are discussed.
本文描述了一名患有皮肤窦道、复发性脑膜炎、上升性脊髓炎并最终死亡的婴儿病例。脊髓受累范围异常广泛，脓肿直至下脑干水平，且脓肿内存在鳞状上皮，这很难用目前关于神经管闭合不全性皮肤窦道形成的概念来解释。文中讨论了形态发生、临床和放射学方面的问题。
