Lipomyelomeningocele

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.

Lipomyelomeningocele

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

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.

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

Lipomyelomeningoceles: a neuroradiological approach.

Journal of neuroradiology = Journal de neuroradiologie, 1988
The results of a retrospective study of 10 cases of lipomyelomeningocele (LMML) and 4 cases of spinal lipoma in reoperated LMML observed over a 4-year period are reported. Patient's age ranged from 4 months to 12 years; a slight female predominance was noted (8:6). All patients underwent myelography, followed by CT-myelography in 11.

Predicting orthopedic involvement in patients with lipomyelomeningoceles

Child's Nervous System, 2007
Lipomyelomeningoceles (LMM) occur in approximately 1 in every 4,000 live births in the United States. They are associated with a wide range of problems in affected patients, including skin abnormalities, sensory and motor deficits, pain, urinary bladder and anal sphincter dysfunction, and orthopedic deformities.In an effort to better understand the ...
