Key Points

This research addresses the surgical correction of spinal deformities in a pediatric patient with diastematomyelia and related issues.
Presented a case of a pediatric patient with diastematomyelia, unilateral bar, and unsegmented butterfly vertebra
Performed urgent decompression prior to stabilization due to neurological deficits
Conducted surgical correction of the vertebral anomalies
Successfully corrected the spinal deformities
Achieved neurological improvement post-surgery
Documented curve correction to a functional alignment

Abstract

The authors present a successful surgical correction of concomitant diastematomyelia and a unilateral bar and unsegmented butterfly vertebra in a pediatric patient. While the curve magnitude at presentation warranted surgical correction, neurological deficits necessitated urgent decompression before stabilization. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25315.
