【 摘 要 】

Diastematomyelia is rare congenital anomaly most often seen in lumbar region .Epidermoid tumors in spinal canal are rarer, more so in the intramedullary location. While the pathogenesis of diastematomyelia has been explained in classical papers and can explain the cooccurrence of epidermoid tumors in these cases, the actual reported cases as such are quite rare. The author reports clinical, radiological and operative findings of such a case.
