The authors present a patient with diastematomyelia and associated congenital malformations of the spinal cord. They caused tethering of the spinal cord. Patient had cutaneous marks of malformation from birth. ⋯ Only careful surgical revision with subsequent removal of all causes of the tethering of the spinal cord produced good result. Diastematomyelia is a congenital malformation with some morphological variations and coexistence of other malformations. The presented case is a typical example of malformations associated with diastematomyelia.
