Human-Tail with Closed Spinal Dysraphism: Management of a Rare and Interesting Clinical Finding

Human-tail is a fascinating clinical finding. It is a vestigial organ and its presence in humans is considered abnormal. Depending upon the cultural beliefs, in some parts of world it is considered as boon and in some as a bane. Here I am discussing a case of 3-year-old female child with tail and occult spinal dysraphism. Earlier few case reports have been published on this topic; I am reporting this to add one more in the currently available literature.
