Syringomyelia in children with closed spinal dysraphism: long-term outcomes after surgical intervention [PDF]

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2020
OBJECTIVEThe nature of the relationship between spinal cord syrinx and tethered cord is not well known. It is unclear if surgical cord untethering results in resolution or improvement of an associated syrinx. The objective of this study was to report the response of spinal cord syrinx to surgical cord untethering.METHODSThe authors retrospectively ...

Interhemispheric fissure distortion in fetal open spina bifida: an under‐recognized prenatal ultrasound finding

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe, characterize and determine the frequency of interhemispheric fissure (IHF) distortion on ultrasound in fetuses with open spina bifida (OSB), evaluate its association with other intracranial findings and biometric parameters and assess its evolution after prenatal closure of the spinal defect.

Anatomical–Motor Level Discrepancy in Prenatal Diagnosis of Open Spinal Dysraphism: A 12‐Year Retrospective Observational Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To quantify the discrepancy between anatomical and motor levels in foetuses with open spinal dysraphism and identify prenatal factors associated with this difference. We also examined associations between anatomical level and ultrasound findings. Design Retrospective observational study.

Subcutaneous Sacrococcygeal Lipoma in a 7 Months Old Female Mimicking Myelomeningocele and Sacrococcygeal Teratoma, A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A 7‐month‐old female presented with a congenital sacrococcygeal mass. While SCT and MMC are common, MRI ruled them out, leading to simple excision. Histopathology revealed a rare subcutaneous sacrococcygeal lipoma. This case emphasizes the use of advanced imaging to differentiate benign soft‐tissue lesions from spinal or neoplastic pathologies

Bulbar “Red Flag” Symptoms and a 21‐Year Diagnostic Delay in Adult Arnold–Chiari Type II Malformation With Tracheoesophageal Fistula and Syringomyelia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The simultaneous occurrence of Arnold–Chiari Malformation Type II (ACM II), syringomyelia, and an acquired tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in a young adult is exceptionally rare and represents a major diagnostic challenge. Arnold–Chiari Malformation II is characterized by the herniation of cerebellar structures through the foramen magnum.

MRI in Sheep Model for Myelomeningocele Repair Using a Novel Polymer and Other Dural Patches

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 1267-1277, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare postnatal MRI outcomes after prenatal myelomeningocele repair using three different dural substitutes. Method 32 sheep fetuses were included, with 34.3%(11/32) serving as healthy controls and the remaining undergoing prenatal spinal lumbar defect creation to recreate a myelomeningocele in the fetus.
