| Popis: | Terminal myelocystocele is a rare form of spinal dysraphism characterised by cystic dilatation of the central canal of a low-lying terminal cord. Typical presentation is a skin-covered dorsal mass; early surgical repair has been recommended.We present the case of a 4-year-old girl with a terminal myelocystocele and syrinx, which were both observed to spontaneously regress on subsequent magnetic resonance imaging.Terminal myelocystocele and its associated syrinx may resolve spontaneously. Early surgical repair may not always be necessary. |
