A rare human tail in the neck region was identified, leading to the diagnosis of cervical spinal dysraphism. Early detection of such cutaneous markers is crucial for favorable patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical case study
  • Developmental abnormalities
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Human tails, though rare, are cutaneous markers that can indicate underlying spinal dysraphic states.
  • Cervical spinal dysraphism presents unique diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A unique case of a human tail located in the cervical region is presented.
  • The cutaneous deformity served as a crucial diagnostic lead.

Findings:

  • The cervical tail was associated with underlying cervical spinal dysraphism, specifically cervical cord tethering.
  • The patient's condition was successfully managed, leading to a favorable outcome.

Implications:

  • Cutaneous markers like human tails warrant careful clinical evaluation for potential underlying neurological conditions.
