“…A dermal sinus is an abnormality that appears above the dorsal midline at birth. An abnormal epithelialized connection extends from the skin towards the spine and is most commonly seen in the lumbosacral and occipital regions [ 28 , 29 ]. There are often abnormal hair, pigmentation or capillary tumor-like changes around the sinuses, which can be found with the clinician's careful examination [ 30 ].…”

“…Congenital DS arises from incomplete separation of surface ectoderm and neural ectoderm, resulting in focal segmental adhesion. [ 13 ] The prevalence is reported as 1 in 2500 live births,[ 4 ] although it includes cases before the use of MRI for diagnosis, making the true prevalence uncertain. The patient in the reported case had DS since childhood; at the time, neurosurgery indicated surgical correction, which was not performed; at the age of 24, he opened a picture of meningeal irritation and then performed a lumbar puncture diagnosing meningitis.…”

“…[ 1 , 14 ] The syndrome classifies the disease into three morphological types, with Type 1 characterized by a massive fusion of several cervical and/or thoracic vertebrae, Type 2 when there is a fusion of 1 or 2 intervertebral spaces, with hemivertebrae, fusion atlantooccipital and associations with other cervical abnormalities, and Type 3 when it affects low thoracic or lumbar vertebrae. [ 4 , 14 ]…”

“…Congenital midline defects, as well as anatomic abnormalities of the spinal cord or vertebral column, are some of the key predisposing factors for ISCA. One of these is dermal sinus tracts (see Figure 5 ), an abnormality present at birth over the dorsal midline where an abnormal epithelialized connection from the skin tracks inwards toward the spine, especially in the lumbar (32–43%) and the lumbosacral regions (32–54%) [ 65 ]. Their prevalence is estimated at 1 in 2500 live births.…”
