Familial lipomyelomeningocele: A further report

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2004
AbstractLipomyelomeningocele is a form of spina bifida occulta with a distinct pathogenesis that differentiates it from open neural tube defects. Familial forms are rare and the condition may be polygenic. We report on 2 affected siblings with similar lesions and raise the possibility of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance with implications ...

Spinal Rhabdomyosarcoma in a Child with Lipomyelomeningocele

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2004
Malignant tumors arising within dysrhaphic malformations are very rare and are mostly teratomas; so far, only one rhabdomyosarcoma has been reported in this context. We report another case of a girl with lipomyelomeningocele who developed a lumbar rhabdomyosarcoma 2 years after birth and primary closure of the neural tube defect.

Double Discontinuous Lipomyelomeningocele

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1985
A 3-year-old girl with repaired cloacal exstrophy and two skin-covered dorsal lumbosacral masses was documented to have two lipomyelomeningoceles at noncontiguous levels of a tethered spinal cord. The clinical, radiographic, myelographic, CT, and surgical appearances are presented to illustrate the features of this extremely rare anomaly.

Reflections on the Natural History of Lipomyelomeningocele

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008
A retrospective analysis of patients with lipomyelomeningocele cared for at two referral centers was completed to derive relationships between neurological function and patient age. Thirty-seven percent of 177 patients had intact neurological function on initial examination.

Bladder Function in Patients with Lipomyelomeningocele

Journal of Urology, 1990
We evaluated preoperative and postoperative bladder function in 31 consecutive patients who underwent definitive operative correction of lipomyelomeningocele. Of 12 patients less than 1.5 years old at operation, bladder function was normal preoperatively and postoperatively in 5 (42%) and normalized postoperatively in 4 (33%).

Surgical treatment for lipomyelomeningocele in children

World Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
Lipomyelomeningocele (LMM) is a common and severe closed neural tube defect in children. Because of the complex anatomy of LMM and the difficulty in assessing the value of surgery, the management of patients with LMM is controversial. This study was undertaken to evaluate effective techniques and procedures in surgical treatment of LMM and to assess ...

Management of lipomyelomeningoceles

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1985
✓ Ninety-seven children with lipomyelomeningoceles were operated on at the Hospital for Sick Children between January, 1960, and December, 1982. The most common factor that caused these patients to seek help was the cosmetic effect of the mass on their back. However, 22 patients had urinary incontinence and 15 patients had a deformed or weak leg. Sixty
