Two cases illustrating the value of CT in the assessment of spinal dysraphic tissue are presented. In one case, the configuration and origins of two osseous diastematomyelic spurs were shown well; in the second case, the CT recognition of a sacral lipoma led to air myelographic confirmation of the tumor and tethered cord. CT phantom studies indicated that dysraphic tissues, such as fat, cartilage, and fibrous tissue, are better identified and quantitated in the spinal canal when surrounded by air. Varying degrees of image degradation occur with water (simulating CSF) or metrizamide.
