✦ Synopsis

Two children with diastematomyelia were diagnosed before operation with high-resolution spinal ultrasonography. Neonates with evident or suspected diastematomyelia can be effectively examined by high-resolution spinal ultrasonography and spinal radiography, reserving more invasive techniques for those for whom the method proves inadequate.
