An interesting case occurred in one of the Chinese hospitals. The parents brought the girl to the doctor to remove hair from the lower back.. However, the doctor immediately suspected something was wrong and sent the young patient for a full examination in order to exclude the pathology of other systems..

It turned out that the girl had a split spinal cord. In addition, doctors found her syringomyelia (a tendency to form cavities in the nerve tissue of the spinal cord).

The disease progresses, which in the future can lead to paresis and paralysis.

Doctors performed an emergency operation to avoid serious consequences from the nervous system. Neurologists are confident that a complete examination of the patient should always be carried out. Serious internal pathology is often hidden behind external manifestations..

80% of children with spinal cord diseases have skin defects on their back. Usually these are characteristic marks.
