Abstract
Segmental spinal dysgenesis is a rare form of spinal dysraphism. We report a case of segmental hypoplasia of the spinal cord extending from T6 to L1 vertebral levels, with a dorsal dermal sinus, diagnosed by spinal sonography and MRI and confirmed at surgery. The probable pathogenesis is suggested.
