Split cord malformation type II (SCM-II) is a rare congenital disorder in which the spinal cord is divided into two separate parts, each of which is surrounded by its own spinal canal. It is also known as diastematomyelia. Symptoms of SCM-II can include pain, weakness, numbness, and difficulty walking. Treatment typically involves surgery to separate the two parts of the spinal cord and to repair any associated nerve damage.

The symptoms of Split Cord Malformation Type II (SCM II) vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:

- Abnormal curvature of the spine
- Abnormal positioning of the spinal cord
- Abnormal positioning of the vertebrae
- Abnormal positioning of the ribs
- Abnormal positioning of the shoulder blades
- Abnormal positioning of the hips
- Abnormal positioning of the legs
- Abnormal positioning of the feet
- Abnormal positioning of the arms
- Abnormal positioning of the hands
- Abnormal positioning of the fingers
- Abnormal positioning of the toes
- Abnormal positioning of the head
- Abnormal positioning of the neck
- Abnormal positioning of the jaw
- Abnormal positioning of the eyes
- Abnormal positioning of the ears
- Abnormal positioning

Split cord malformation type II is a congenital disorder, meaning it is present at birth. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed to be related to abnormal development of the embryonic neural tube. It is also thought to be associated with genetic factors, as it is more common in certain families.

The treatment for Split Cord Malformation Type II typically involves surgical intervention. The goal of the surgery is to separate the two spinal cords and to reconstruct the vertebral column. Depending on the severity of the condition, the surgery may involve the removal of the bony septum, the insertion of a graft to separate the two spinal cords, and the reconstruction of the vertebral column. In some cases, additional treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and medications may be necessary to help manage symptoms.
