Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Lipomyelomeningocele is one of the more common forms of occult spinal dysraphism seen in clinical practice. It is now universally accepted that prophylactic surgery is indicated in most cases, but areas of controversy remain. These include the diagnosis and management of retethering, the value of intraoperative physiological monitoring, and indications

Adult cervicothoracic lipomyelomeningocele
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016Lipomyelomeningocele (LMM) as a cause of tethered cord syndrome (TCS) commonly presents in childhood in the lumbosacral spine. Patients frequently present with cutaneous manifestations, progressive neurological deterioration, bladder dysfunction, and intractable pain. Early surgical intervention with untethering is recommended for symptomatic patients.

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1986
Spina bifida is one of the many congenital malformations possibly detectable in utero with ultrasound. Prenatal diagnosis can be useful in planning prompt, appropriate neonatal care of the infant. Lipomyelomeningocele (lipomyeloschisis) is a common subtype of spinal dysraphism.

Double Discontinuous Lipomyelomeningocele
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1985A 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.

Cognitive Abilities and Lipomyelomeningocele
Psychological Reports, 1993Ten children with lipomyelomeningocele were evaluated with the WISC—R, the Wide Range Achievement Test—Revised, the Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration, and the Child Behavior Checklist. These children were consecutive referrals to a birth defects clinic.

Familial lipomyelomeningocele: A further report
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2004AbstractLipomyelomeningocele 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 ...

Electrophysiological monitoring during lipomyelomeningocele resection
Muscle & Nerve, 1990AbstractSurgical resection of a lipomyelomeningocele carries a risk of injury to nerve roots in the cauda equina. We have devised a technique for combined spinal evoked potential and peripheral nerve compound action potential recording for intraoperative monitoring of this surgical procedure.

Transgenerational Inheritance of Familial Lipomyelomeningocele
Journal of Child Neurology, 2017Lipomyelomeningocele is a type of neural tube defect characterized by lipomatous tissue causing a defect in the vertebrae, infiltrating the dura, and tethering the spinal cord. Despite significant neurologic consequences, the underlying etiology remains poorly understood.
