Abstract:

The above study was retrospective, done for a period of 15 months from July 2013 to September 2014. Clinical and radiological findings of 20 cases suspected as Spinal dysraphism were studied and identified different spectrum of dysraphism and classified them. Clinical evaluation of 20 patients was studied and following characteristics MRI findings were evaluated.
