A Closer Look at Sacral Dimples with Mark Erickson, MD (S6:E28)
About this episode
How do you know if a sacral dimple needs a closer look? Sacral dimples can be nothing at all, or they may be an indication of something more serious, such as tethered cord syndrome, dermal sinus tract or spina bifida oculate. In this episode, learn how sacral dimples should be evaluated and when providers should run more tests or refer to a specialist.
Guest: Dr. Mark Erickson is the Medical Director of the Spine Center and the Pediatric Orthopedics Fellowship Director at Children's Hospital Colorado, and a professor in the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
