Abstract: ABSTRACT Split cord malformations are the rare congenital anomalies of spine. Diastematomyelia represents a longitudinal split in the spinal cord dividing it into two hemicords. The type of dividing septa determines the types of diastematomyelia. We present the case of a 16-year-old patient with type 1 diastematomyelia clinically presenting as scoliosis.
