Dorsal midline cutaneous stigmata associated with occult spinal dysraphism in pediatric patients.

Conclusion: Our results suggest that adding other dorsal midline cutaneous stigmata, particularly fibrofatty masses, to a sacrococcygeal dimple is associated with OSD or cord tethering requiring surgery. Concurrent presence of other congenital anomalies should be considered a predictable condition for OSD. PMID: 30304899 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
