Abstract

Spine duplication is considered rare, a more serious form of split cord malformation. Ultrasonographic evaluation of the spine in the second trimester is central to the antenatal diagnosis of spinal malformations. Here, we report a case of thoraco-lumbar spine duplication associated with lipomyelomeningocele diagnosed by ultrasonography at 19 weeks of gestation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of spine duplication diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography.
