Ultrasound is a rapid, noninvasive, cost-effective method of evaluating the spine in infants younger than six months of age. This report reviews sonographic scan procedure and normal sonographic spinal anatomy, and illustrates the sonographic appearance of occult spinal anomalies, such as meningocele, meningomyelocele, tethered cord, diastematomyelia, and sacrococcygeal teratoma.

Key Words: sonography • neonate • infant • spine • spinal dysraphism • diastematomyelia • meningocele • spina bifida • sacrococcygeal teratoma • lipoma • tethered cord
