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 ...

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.

Bladder Functional Changes Resulting from Lipomyelomeningocele Repair

Journal of Urology, 1992
From 1986 to 1991, 12 boys and 23 girls underwent surgery for lipomyelomeningocele removal. Of these patients 29 were 15 months old or younger (average age 3 months), while 6 were 4.5 to 19 years old (average age 10 years). Preoperative and postoperative urodynamic studies, including external urethral sphincter electromyography, were done on everyone ...

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

Descriptive epidemiology of lipomyelomeningocele, Hawaii, 1986–2001

Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology, 2004
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe epidemiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) may depend on the type of the defect and its location. There is little epidemiologic information on lipomyelomeningocele, a type of NTD. The objective of this investigation was to describe the epidemiology of lipomyelomeningocele.METHODSCases were obtained from a Hawaii birth defect ...

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.
