Subgross overview 5 mm cranial from the congenital anomaly (a), section 5 mm caudal from the congenital anomaly (b), section of the anomaly (c), and a 20x view of the anomaly (d). Subgross overview 5 mm cranial from the congenital anomaly (a), section 5 mm caudal from the congenital anomaly (b), section of the anomaly (c), and a 20x view of the anomaly (d). Image a and b show a dilatated central canal cranial and caudal to the anomaly associated with a slight elongation of the decussating grey matter. The dashed box in image c shows the borders of the magnification, which is shown in image d. Image c and d show epithelial lining of the central canal as a discontinuous layer in the ventrolateral aspects of the dorsal medial sulcus (arrows), an elongated midline bridge of white matter and an absence of grey matter extending across the midline
