The term spinal dysraphism encompasses a group of congenital disorders of spinal cord development. This potentially confusing array of conditions is best understood from an embryological perspective, and a unifying method of classification is presented. Spinal dysraphism is associated with neurological, urological, and orthopaedic deficits, these may be present at birth or may evolve over time due to the effects of spinal cord tethering. Precise diagnosis is essential to formulating an appropriate surgical management plan in order to optimize long-term neurological outcome. Contemporary and controversial surgical advances in the field are discussed including electrophysiology directed radical resection for spinal lipomas and antenatal surgery for myelomeningocele.
