Abstract EN
Terminal myelocystocele (TMC) results from failure of embryonic CSF to drain outside the neural tube creating CSF reservoir within a dorsal meningocele.
Association of Chiari II malformation with diastematomyelia and myelocystocele is extremely rare.
Myelocystoceles do not have neural tissue so they have good prognosis after treatment, however when associated with hydromelia and Chiari malformation they present with neurological deficits.
We present details of a 2 year old female who presented to us with this rare anomaly.
