UNASSIGNED: Hemimyeloschisis is a very rare @entity600 of the spine which is characterized by a @entity602 associated with complete exposureof the one hemicord to the exterior. We report a case of hemimyeloschisis on the right hemicord in a @entity1 with @entity1276 . The @entity1 was a female neonate with myeloschisis, @entity272 , and @entity12737 visible at birth in the upper lumbar region. There was also @entity272 around the myeloschisis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a bony septum at the L2 level as well as the myeloschisis on the right hemicord, which enabled us to make a precise preoperative diagnosis of this rare @entity600 . There was also mild @entity1276 in cranial CT scan. Closure of the myeloschisis and @entity5381 were successfully performed associated with the closure of the skin in one stage surgery to prevent subsequent @entity16 . Ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion was performed for @entity1276 . The presence of combined @entity602 and myeloschisis is consistent with the hypothesis of an ontogenic basis of development. This combination also emphasizes the importance of early imaging for diagnosis in this complex @entity600 .
