I have spina bifida occulta, my marker is what I think is called faun tail nevus. I can grow a tail from my lower back. I would like to know more about this and is it just me?

Amazingly enough, I had seen this article recently:

Amazing photograph - it is big when you hover over it.

I have no idea whether there is any connection with thyroid whatsoever.
