Summary
Literature review presents an analysis of publications on diastematomyelia – a rare spine and spinal cord abnormality. Достоверно известно лишь то, что при диастематомиелии пороки развития позвоночника наблюдаются в 100 % случаев [4, 6, 17, 20, 21, 26, 28, 29, 35, 36, 41, 44]. Нередко при множественных аномалиях развития позвоночника в сочетании с диастематомиелией формируются пороки развития внутренних органов или имеется нарушение их функции [6, 11].
