Congenital dermal sinus (CDS) is a rare entity widely known to occur as a result of the of the failure of the neuroectoderm to separate from the cutaneous ectoderm during the process of neurulation at the third to fifth week of gestation. The
lesion can
occur at any level of the craniospinal axis. but are located predominantly at the lumbosacral and occipital region CDS of thoracic region and cervical region are rare. They are usually dermoid or epidermoid cyst. Teratoma is rarely associated
