The intergluteal cleft or just gluteal cleft, also known by a number of synonyms, including natal cleft and cluneal cleft, is the groove between the buttocks that runs from just below the sacrum to the perineum, [1] so named because it forms the visible border between the external rounded protrusions of the gluteus maximus muscles.
Atypical dimples, on the other hand, have different characteristics. They are larger than 5 mm in size and are located within 2.5 cm of the anus. Atypical dimples can also be deep, positioned above the gluteal crease, located outside the midline, or occur as multiple dimples. [8]
[3] [4] Coccygeal pits are distinct from congenital dermal sinus as they are found within the gluteal cleft, rather than above the gluteal cleft. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The caudally orientated coccygeal pits are not associated with intradural pathology and do not need to be excised, unlike the cephalically oriented tracts of the congenital dermal sinus ...

Two pilonidal fistulous openings (circled) that have formed in the gluteal cleft Pilonidal cysts can be itchy and often very painful, and typically occur between the ages of 15 and 35. [ 5 ] Although usually found near the coccyx , the condition can also affect the navel , armpit , the cheek, [ 6 ] or the genital region , [ 7 ] though these ...
An example of a birth defect is cleft palate, which occurs during the fourth through seventh weeks of gestation. [14] Body tissue and special cells from each side of the head grow toward the center of the face. They join to make the face. [14] A cleft means a split or separation; the "roof" of the mouth is called the palate. [15]
Arnold et al. (2003) reported a male fetus with Fryns syndrome and additional abnormalities, in particular, multiple midline developmental defects including gastroschisis, central nervous system defects with left arrhinencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia, midline cleft of the upper lip, alveolar ridge, and maxillary bone, and cleft nose with ...
Butterfly vertebrae have a sagittal cleft through the body of the vertebrae and a funnel shape at the ends. This gives the appearance of a butterfly on an x-ray. It is caused by persistence of the notochord (which usually only remains as the center of the intervertebral disc) during vertebrae formation. There are usually no symptoms.
