Case ReportsMagnetic resonance imaging in myelocystoceles. Report of two cases.
Two cases of terminal myelocystocele, a rare localized cystic dilatation of the caudal spinal central canal, are reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful diagnostic tool for its evaluation. ⋯ This condition is usually associated with abnormalities of the vertebral column and sacrum as well as compression of the spinal cord and meningocele by a fibrous band. There is a possible relationship of the myelocystocele to teratogens such as loperamide HCl and retinoic acid, although the exact etiology of this entity is not known.
