Scope note: Defecto congénito común de la fusión de la línea media de los arcos vertebrales sin protrusión de la médula espinal o de las meninges. La lesión está cubierta también por piel. L5 y S1 son las vértebras más comúnmente afectadas. La afección puede asociarse con un área de piel hiperpigmentada que la recubre, un seno dérmico, o una placa pilosa anormal. La mayoría de los individuos con esta malformación no tienen síntomas aunque hay un incremento en la incidencia del síndrome medular y de la ESPONDILOSIS lumbar.

Scope note: A common congenital midline defect of fusion of the vertebral arch without protrusion of the spinal cord or meninges. The lesion is also covered by skin. L5 and S1 are the most common vertebrae involved. The condition may be associated with an overlying area of hyperpigmented skin, a dermal sinus, or an abnormal patch of hair. The majority of individuals with this malformation are asymptomatic although there is an increased incidence of tethered cord syndrome and lumbar SPONDYLOSIS.
