Abstract

Background: A lipoma in limbosanal region can be associated with myelomeningocele with tethered cord. Tethered cord means abnormally low conus medullaris with abnormally thick filum terminale attached to lower sacral region.

Objective: The case was discussed because there is rare association between lipomyelomeningocele with tethering of cord, scolosis and clubfoot. The operation was done by S shaped transverse incision crossing over the middle of the lump. Excision of lipoma was done. Neural placode was identified and dethering of cord and repair of sac was done.

Results: The muscle power after surgery was improved. There was no bladder disturbance and gait was intact.

Conclusion: There was rare association of many congenital anomalies. Early diagnosis and surgery prevent future cord infarction and scoliosis, due to undue traction of cord.
