title: Neurenteric sinus dorsal to the thoracic spine with an associated cutaneous haemangioma: case report.
abstract: The case of an infant born with a large cutaneous haemangioma overlying the thoracic spine is presented. A small midline pit lay within the haemangioma, histological examination of which confirmed it to be a neurenteric sinus. The possible embryological origins of this rare lesion are discussed.
