    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1982 Oct; 18(4):289-94. PubMed ID: 7179090.
    Abstract:
    It is rare for patients with diastematomyelia to manifest initial symptoms in adult life. Clinical, radiological, and surgical features of a patient with symptomatic adult diastematomyelia are presented. Pathogenetic mechanisms are considered to include a variety of congenital spinal anomalies, distinct from the spur, as well as mechanical factors.
