The authors report a rare case of tethered cord syndrome with low-placed conus medullaris complicated by a vertebral fracture that was successfully treated by a spine-shortening vertebral osteotomy. The patient was a 57-year-old woman whose neurological condition worsened after a T-12 vertebral fracture because a fracture fragment and the associated local kyphotic deformity directly compressed the tethered spinal cord. An osteotomy of the T-12 vertebra was performed in order to correct the kyphosis, remove the fracture fragment, and reduce the tension on the spinal cord. Postoperative radiographs showed the spine to be shortened by 22 mm, and the kyphosis between T-11 and L-1 improved from 23° to 0°. Two years after the surgery, the patient's neurological symptoms were resolved. The bone union was complete with no loss of correction.

Careful physical examination of the site of procedure before the caudal pain procedure should be performed because it could show the patient’s abnormal anatomical conditions. An abdominal binder could be used effectively in a patient showing CSF leakage in the coccygeal area, which is not controlled by conventional compressive dressing.

This is a rare case report of a 5-month-old child with a complex spinal dysraphic state, and an accessory limb (tripedus morphology), accessory genitalia, and anal dimple. The child was brought to the hospital with an accessory limb arising from the back. On clinical examination, an accessory limb arising from the lower back with a partially developed foot with the presence of toes and nails was noted. Spinal MRI was advised which revealed dysraphic features including spina bifida with the low lying and posteriorly tethered cord with diastematomyelia along with a supernumerary appendage attached to the vertebral column having rudimentary bones resembling those of extremities. The presence of an accessory limb with spinal dysraphism is quite a rare anomaly. The condition can be treated by surgical intervention and involves excision of the accessory limb with adequate dural and paraspinal muscle cover.

Ectopic breast is a congenital disorder where abnormal additional breast tissue is found. Synonyms are known as supplementary breast polymastia and mammae erraticae. It is a embryological disorder and can present anywhere along the milk line with majority are located in axilla. Presence of additional nipple is known as polythelia. Spinal dysraphism is a congenital disorder where incomplete fusion of mesenchymal tissue bone or neural element of spine. We report a case of spina bida L2-S1 with tethered cord with additional breast with two nipples in a 12 year old girl .Patient does not have symptoms except accessory breast. This is a very rare presentation of spinal dysraphism and this third reported case of literature as per our knowledge.

ABSTRACTMyelocystocele is a rare form of spinal dysraphism. Thoracic myelocystocele is still rarer. The occurrence of thoracic myelocystocele associated with type-1 split cord malformation, low lying tethered cord, dorsal syrinx and spina bifida is extremely rare. Clinical presentation of such a rare case and an early surgical management is discussed briefly.
