MRI through the lower spinal cord demonstrates an uneven split from T9 to L1. The dura appears to be a single sac without a dividing septum/spur. Above the split the lower thoracic cord demonstrates hydromyelia. L1 and possibly L2 (incomplete images) appear to have unfused lamina (spina bifida).
Case Discussion
This case illustrates the less classical type of split cord malformation (type II) in which the dura is single and no bony septum is present.
