The authors performed spinal ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 20 consecutive newborns with strawberry nevi.In 15 patients the nevi were isolated and five they associated other cutaneous markers of occult dysraphism (OSD). In four additional markers, but none those without, MR surgical exploration demonstrated OSD. found that isolation do not appear to indicate underlying dysraphic states. sparse clinical literature on this topic, which is reviewed, confirms an...
