Abstract

Introduction

Spinal teratomas are extremely rare tumours, and their association with split cord malformation is even rarer.

Case report

This is a case report of an infant with a large teratoma with a lipomyelomeningocele along with a split cord malformation and with an unusual accessory penis and scrotum on the back over the swelling. This, to our knowledge, is the first such case reported in the English literature.
