Segmental Spinal Aplasia: Anatomical Variations and Treatment Insights.

Study Design: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: The study aimed to analyze anatomical variants of segmental spinal aplasia (SSA) and investigate factors influencing surgical treatment outcomes, with a specific focus on the incidence of complications.

Methods: The study focused on patients with SSA treated at a single medical center, with over two years of follow-up.

Treatment of spinal deformity with diastematomyelia type I: one-stage, two-stage surgery and new technique (vertebral column resection through wide bony septum).

Study Design: Case series, literature review, and technical note.

Objectives: To compare two different approaches to treat the spinal deformity with split cord malformation type I (SCM I). To present a new method of one-stage surgical treatment of congenital spinal deformity with wide bony septum (SCM I).
