“…The soft tissues and the skin that cover these anomalies are usually intact unless they form part of a more complex anomaly. Diastematomyelia is normally accompanied by vertebral anomalies like hemivertebrae or butterfly vertebrae, tethered cord, or open spina bifida (hemimyelomeningocele or hemimyelocele) [49]. It is most commonly located in the lower thoracic or upper lumbar spine.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects (NTDs).BackgroundNTDs comprise a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies that derive from the failure of the neural tube to close. Advances in ultrasonography and MRI have considerably improved the diagnosis and treatment of NTDs both before and after birth. Ultrasonography is the first technique in the morphological study of the fetus, and it often makes it possible to detect or suspect NTDs. Fetal MRI is a complementary technique that makes it possible to clear up uncertain ultrasonographic findings and to detect associated anomalies that might go undetected at ultrasonography. The progressive incorporation of intrauterine treatments makes an accurate diagnosis of NTDs essential to ensure optimal perinatal management. The ability of fetal MRI to detect complex anomalies that affect different organs has been widely reported, and it can be undertaken whenever NTDs are suspected.ConclusionWe describe the normal appearance of fetal neural tube on MRI, and we discuss the most common anomalies involving the structures and the role of fetal MRI in their assessment.Key Points• To learn about the normal anatomy of the neural tube on MRI• To recognise the MR appearance of neural tube defects• To understand the value of MRI in assessing NTDs

Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital disorder in which the spinal cord is divided longitudinally for part of its length. It can be accurately identified in the prenatal period by detailed sonographic examination of the spine. We report a case of diastematomyelia localized to spinal levels T6-T9 diagnosed prenatally at 31 weeks' gestation and review the existing literature on the diagnosis and management of this condition during pregnancy.

An 18-year-old woman with no obstetrics risk factor was referred for routine US screening. At sagittal section, fetal spine was seen to be disordered. A coronal view of the spinal canal showed evidence of widening at the lower thoracic and lumbar level. An echogenic mass was identified within the enlarged spinal canal at level of T6-L5. Fetal MRI and AF-AChE analysis confirmed diagnosis and ruled out other anomalies and spina bifida. Neurological examination of the baby at 16 months of age was normal.
