Abstract
Split cord malformation-I (SCM-I) is characterized by the presence of double dural
sacs, with rigid extradural bony/cartilaginous spur leading to symmetrical or asymmetrical
division of the cord. In split cord malformation-II (SCM-II), there is a single dural
sac with a nonrigid fibrous spur and symmetrical division of the cord. SCM-II are
slightly more common than SCM-I, constituting around 50 to 60% of SCMs. The authors
report a unique case of SCM with triple bony spurs lying both intra- and extradurally
in a single dural sleeve. At the time of submission of this report, to the best of
authors’ knowledge, no case of SCM with triple bony spurs in single dural sleeve has
been reported anywhere in the world literature.
