description BACKGROUND: Diastematomyelia is a rare congenital spinal cord malformation, classified as type I or type II, with over half of the cases considered type I. However, type I diastematomyelia with breast abnormality and clubfoot is extremely rare in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION: We admitted an 18-year-old female patient with type I diastematomyelia with breast abnormalities and clubfoot. She was underwent surgical treatment. After the surgical removal of the pressure-causing bone spur, the weakness of the right lower limb was significantly relieved. During the 22-month follow-up, there was no complication and no recurrence. CONCLUSION: Surgical removal of the pressure-causing bone spur can relieve symptoms in the lower limbs. However, further research is warranted to explore the breast abnormalities in patients with diastematomyelia.
