[Scoliosis and diastematomyelia: four cases and a review of the literature]. / Scoliose et diastématomyélie. A prpos de 4 cas et revue de la littérature.

We report four cases of scoliosis associated with diatematomyelia observed between 1984 and 1998. The patients were four girls aged 10 to 12 years. Skin lesions were found on the midline in 3 cases and 2 had a neurological disorder. A myeloscan was performed in two cases, tomomyelography in one and MRI in one. Three patients were operated on with good outcome. The fourth child is under orthopedic treatment. We reviewed the literature on scoliosis with diastematomyelia.
