Our purpose was to review the neuroradiological features of spinal dysraphism and to
correlate them with clinical findings and up-to-date embryological theory. We also aimed to …

Spinal dysraphisms (SDs) are congenital malformations of the spinal cord, determined by
derangement in the complex cascade of embryologic events involved in spinal …

Objective: To evaluate the clinical profiles, image findings and surgical outcome of 155
cases of spinal dysraphism. Methods: 155 patients were studied prospectively (143) or …

Spinal cord development occurs through the three consecutive periods of gastrulation
(weeks 2-3), primary neurulation (weeks 3-4), and secondary neurulation (weeks 5-6) …

Spinal and spinal cord malformations are collectively named spinal dysraphisms. They arise
from defects occurring in the early embryological stages of gastrulation (weeks 2–3), primary …

Abstract Objects This study was conducted to investigate the frequency and type of
cutaneous stigmata in different forms of occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) and their correlation …

Spinal cord development occurs through three consecutive periods. Gastrulation (weeks 2–
3) is characterized by conversion of the embryonic disk from a bilaminar to a trilaminar …

The subject of occult spinal dysraphism or myelodysplasia is reviewed from standpoints of
embryology, clinical manifestations, and treatment, and the management of 73 cases …

Objective Congenital abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord are referred to as spinal
dysraphisms. This article reviews normal embryological development of the spine and spinal …

Objectives To verify the diagnostic value of lumbosacral midline cutaneous lesions in
