Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals clinical features and surgical outcomes of limited dorsal myeloschisis, suggesting favorable interventions.

Key Points

  • To report findings from a single-center series of limited dorsal myeloschisis cases, focusing on clinical features and surgical management.
  • Retrospective analysis of 360 spinal dysraphism cases from January 2019 to May 2024, including 18 limited dorsal myeloschisis cases.
  • Inclusion criteria encompassed open and closed spinal dysraphism admitted to the hospital.
  • Most common location for lesions was D5-D8 in 61% of cases.
  • 89% of patients showed tethering at the level of the spinal lesion; in 11% tethering was sublesional, requiring separate detethering.
