Summary

A rare congenital tail in an infant was linked to spinal dysraphism and tethered cord. Surgical excision of the tail and lesion successfully resolved the condition.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Surgery
Developmental Biology
Neurology

Background:

Spina bifida occulta often manifests with subtle skin indicators like hair patches or sinuses.
Congenital tails are exceptionally rare presentations, sometimes associated with spinal abnormalities.

Observation:

A four-month-old male infant presented with a congenital tail.
This anomaly was found to be associated with spinal dysraphism.

Findings:

The congenital tail was directly linked to the tethering of the spinal cord.
Surgical excision of both the tail and the tethering lesion was performed successfully.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of investigating congenital tails for underlying spinal cord issues.

Keywords:

Congenital tail Spina bifida Spinal dysraphism Tethered spinal cord
