ABSTRACT

The spinal dermal sinus tract is congenital, is an epithelium-lined tract, with potential communication between the skin and deeper tissues, maybe end to fascia or the dura, her localization is the midline, common occipital-parietal and lumbar-sacra; these lesion may present with meningitis or intraspinal abscess. We presented a case with incomplete medullar syndrome for inflammatory spinal cervical lesion, associated to dermal sinus tract and culture positives to proteus mirabilis.
