Abstract
Cervical myelocystocele is a rare form of occult spinal dysraphism in which the central canal of spinal cord and subarachnoid space are herniated through a posterior spina bifida. It is commonly associated with Chiari II malformation, but in the present case it was associated with the Chiari I malformation, the child has no neurological deficit at presentation. The entity of cervical myelocystocele rare but it must be kept in differential diagnosis of cervical spinal dysraphism. The mechanism of dilatation of central canal into cervical meningocele is also different in relation to terminal myelocystocele of lumbosacral region, which is discussed in this report.
