Abstract
Given the significant differences in the pathogenesis of clinical manifestations of spinal dysraphism seems obvious need to identify structural changes in the spinal cord, including its pathways. The article compared the data of clinical and neuroimaging examinations 18 children with various forms of spinal dysraphism. Based on these data we propose to consider MR-tractography as a method for the differential diagnosis of spinal cord structural lesions. As morphological base forming clinical manifestations of spinal dysraphism proposed to consider propriospinal tracts of caudal spinal cord.
