Presentation
Incidental finding of hepatic mass on the ultrasound and MRI was advised.
Patient Data
Incidentally noted splitting of the lower thoracic cord into two hemi-cords and each cord is surrounded by a separate dural sac. Both cords are separated by a bony septum in-between at T12 vertebral body level. The cords are close to each other at L4 vertebral body level.
There are associated lateral thoracic and sacral meningoceles. A lower thoracic vertebral anomaly is seen that may represent fused hemivertebrae. Also, there is L5 and S1 spina bifida.
Two small benign hepatic focal lesions (hemangiomas).
Case Discussion
The case represents type I diastematomyelia with typical associations like meningocele and vertebral abnormalities.
