A 12-month-old girl presented with fe- ver and ascending quadriparesis. She had a midline skin dimple in the upper sacral area that had been discovered in her neonatal period. Imaging studies revealed a holocord intramedullary abscess and CDS. Overlooking CDS or misdiagnosing it as benign sacrococcygeal dimple may lead to catastrophic infection and cause serious neurological deficits. Therefore, further imaging work-up or consultation with a pediatric neurosurgeon is recommended following discovery of any atypical-looking dimples in the midline.

  • Dermal Sinus Tracts of the Spine
    Neurosurg Focus 10 (1):Article 4, 2001, Click here to return to Table of Contents Dermal sinus tracts of the spine SCOTT ELTON, M.D., AND W. JERRY OAKES, M.D. Departments of Neurosurgery and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Children’s Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama Dermal sinus tracts in the spine range from asymptomatic pits to tracts with significant disease. These tracts may be associated with lesions that tether the spinal cord and can either become infected or produce neurological deficits. Over time the treatment of these lesions has varied little: complete resection and intradural exploration are the stan- dard surgical interventions. The authors review their experience with 23 dermal sinus tracts treated in the last 19 years by the senior author. The clinical findings, radiographic appearance, treatment, and pathological findings of these lesions will be discussed. The authors will also provide a summary of the literature covering these lesions. KEY WORDS • dermal sinus tract • spinal dysraphism • dermoid cyst Dermal sinus tracts are remnants of incomplete neural moid cysts: three were intramedullary, and three were tube closure. Embryologically, they result from a failure intradural but not involving the spinal cord.

Einleitung In der modernen Zivilisation ist aufgrund der ansteigenden Datenmenge in allen Wissensbereichen eine umfassende Dokumentation mit standardisierten Mitteln unausweichlich. Deshalb muß auch in der heutigen Medizin die Menge und Vielfalt an Informationen systematisch katalogisiert werden, um eine nationale und auch internationale Nutzung zu erreichen. Eine strukturierte Datenerfassung bietet folgende Vorteile: - Sicherung von Daten, Befunden und Therapien des einzelnen Patienten. - Kommunikation und Kooperation zwischen verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen unter der Prämisse der Optimierung eines Behandlungskonzeptes. - Im Rahmen von Wissenschaft und Forschung können einzelfallübergreifend die erhobenen Datensätze für die Optimierung und Qualitätssicherung des medizinischen Standards genutzt werden. - Eine standardisierte Dokumentation ermöglicht die Kooperation und Interaktion auf internationalem Niveau. - Schaffung einer fundierten Grundlage für juristische Verfahren. - Bildung einer Orientierungshilfe für die Kostenrechnungsanalyse und Budgetierung für medizinische Einrichtungen.
