Review Case Reports
Mediastinal extension of an intradural teratoma in a patient with split cord malformation: case report and review of literature.
It is very rare for split cord malformation to be associated with intraspinal teratoma, and it is even rarer for such tumors in the dorsal spine to extend into the mediastinum. ⋯ To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of an intradural teratoma extending into the mediastinum, occurring concurrently with split cord malformation and other spinal anomalies.
