Özet

Case report: We report a case of a 12-month-old boy with split-cord malformation, tethered cord, and intradural immature teratoma containing immature nephroblastic tissue. He also had a horseshoe kidney. Outcome: Surgical removal of the teratoma and tethered cord resulted in functional improvement of the existing bladder dysfunction. Discussion: To our knowledge, such a case has not been reported before.
