Combined Type 1 and 2 split cord malformations, kyphoscoliosis, tethered cord, and a lipoma.

Conclusion: SCM is a rare cause of spinal deformity. If left untreated, the associated neurological deficits may progress. Treatment should include a two-staged approach; first, the bony and membranous septum should be removed followed by lipoma resection and untethering the cord with adequate cord decompression, while second, a fusion may be performed to address attendant kyphoscoliosis.
