Abstract
The incidence of diastematomyelia associated with teratoma is extremely rare. We present a case of sacrococcygeal teratoma in a neonate with split spinal cord malformation[SSCM]. Magnetic resonance imaging[MRI] showed a heterogenous mass lesion with cyst in the sacrococcygeal region and multiple spinal anormalies [diastematomyelia, tethered cord, hydromyelia, and hemivertebrae]. The mature teratoma was confirmed on histopathological examination. In SSCMs, the potential for coexisting congenital anomalies at separate levels of the spinal cord must be considered in radiological investigations.
