[The role of diastematomyelia in the differential diagnosis and treatment of kyphoscoliotic paraplegia].
By its frequent association with malformative scoliosis and neurological symptoms diastematomyelia has an important place in the diagnostic and treatment of cyphoscoliotic neurological syndromes. In all these cases and even in cases without neurological deficits the diagnosis of disatematomyelia should be done by routine myelography. The indication for operation is often curative in cases with neurological signs and prophylactic in those without.
