It represents 3.8%\u20135% of spinal dysraphisms. Pang et al.\u2019s embryological theory proposes the formation of an \u201caccessory neurenteric canal\u201d that communicates with the yolk sac and amnion. To the authors\u2019 knowledge, only three cases of diastematobulbia (basicranial SCM) associated with a spur or dermoid have been reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The case patient is a newborn girl with an occipitocervical meningocele and dermal sinus associated with an anomaly of notochordal development in the transition between the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord (diastematobulbia) without a bony septum or dermoid cyst. The patient also has agenesis of the atlas and an absence of corticospinal tract decussation. This patient underwent reconstruction of the occipital meningocele and dermal sinus excision.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>To the authors\u2019 knowledge, this is the first described case of type II diastematobulbia (basicranial SCM), without a dermoid cyst. The authors analyzed the embryological errors present in the case patient and considered the option of further surgical treatment depending on the evolution of the patient\u2019s condition. At the time of this report, the patient had shown normal psychomotor development. However, this fact may only be due to the patient\u2019s young age. Considering that after initial untethering the patient remained clinically asymptomatic, conservative and close surveillance has been and continues to be the proposed treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2020.7.peds20161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]],"date-time":"2020-12-18T02:11:05Z","timestamp":1608257465000},"page":"311-316","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diastematobulbia type II without associated dermoid tumor: case report"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Gloria","family":"Moreno-Madue\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, Seville;"},{"name":"Neuroscience Applied Group, Institute of Biomedicine of Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00f3nica","family":"Rivero-Garv\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, Seville;"},{"name":"Neuroscience Applied Group, Institute of Biomedicine of Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Tirado-Caballero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, Seville;"},{"name":"Neuroscience Applied Group, Institute of Biomedicine of Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"M\u00e1rquez-Rivas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Roc\u00edo, Seville;"},{"name":"Center for Advanced Neurology, Seville; and"},{"name":"Neuroscience Applied Group, Institute of Biomedicine of Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Youmans Neurological Surgery Expert Consult","author":"Richard-Winn H","year":"2011","unstructured":"Richard-Winn H.
