Abstract

Split cord malformation represents a closed neural tube defect in which the spinal cord splitsinto two parts. The majority of cases symptoms onset during childhood Although it can occurat any level, malformation is more commonly detected in lower thoracic and upper lumbar regions. The case reported herein is unique; in contrast to other split cord malformation patients ourcase was diagnosed in adulthood, with the condition manifesting at the level of the cervical vertebrae, and with no neurological deficit and concomitant neurocutaneous symptoms|; but thevertebral anomalies such as scoliosis, hemivertebra and vertebral fusion existing all together. Weemphasize the need to consider split cord malformation in the differential diagnosis of elderly patients presenting with neck pain and scoliosis and also we mention that conservative treatmentshould be preferred in patients without progressive neurologic deficit

Özet

Split kord malformasyonu, spinal kordun iki parça halinde bulunduğu kapalı bir nöral tüp defektidir. Olguların çoğu çocukluk çağında bulgu vermektedir. Herhangi bir vertebra seviyesindegörülebilirken en sık alt torasik ve üst lomber bölgede görülmektedir. Eriflkin yaflta split kord malformasyonu tanısı alması, lezyonun nadir bir bölge olan servikal bölgede görülmesi, herhangi birnörolojik defisit saptanmaması, nörokutanöz bir belirtecin efllik etmemesi ve skolyoz, hemivertebra ve vertebra füzyonunun birlikte görülmesi nedeniyle nadir görülen bir olgu sunulacaktır. Fiziktedavi kliniğinde sıkça karflılafltığımız boyun ağrısı ve skolyozun nadir bir sebebi olarak split kordmalformasyonu ayırıcı tanıda bulunmalı ve asemptomatik ilerleyici nörolojik defisiti olmayan hastalarda konservatif tedavi seçeneği düflünülmelidir
