[Evaluation and treatment of congenital scoliosis with split cord malformation].
To discuss the diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital scoliosis (CS) with split cord malformation (SCM). ⋯ Considering the incidence of intraspinal anomalies in patients with congenital scoliosis, intraspinal examination via myelography, CTM or MRI should be performed prior to spinal correction surgery. For congenital scoliosis with type I SCM, the bone spur need not be excised before spinal correction if there is no signs of spinal cord tethered and the bone spur locate in the middle of the split cord where there are much space to accommodate it. For congenital scoliosis with type II SCM, if there are no progressive neurological manifestations, the split cord in the single tubular can tolerate the manipulation of spinal correction as the normal spinal cord.
