Lumbosacral kyphosis, tethered cord, and diplomyelia. A unique spinal dysraphic condition.

Four patients are described with a triad of neuroectodermal abnormalities consisting of lumbosacral kyphosis, tethered cord, and dyplomyelia. Of utmost importance is the recognition of the association between this type of kyphosis and the underlying spinal cord pathology and the progressive nature of the deformity. The patient presenting with lumbosacral kyphos and the presence of sacral hypoplasia should have a neuroradiographic evaluation (magnetic resonance imaging scanning or enhanced computed tomography) to rule out the presence of a tethered cord or other neural abnormalities. Early surgical intervention for release of the tether and fusion should be carried out to prevent neurologic deterioration and curve progression.

Pseudotail associated with spinal dysraphism.

A 5-year-old girl had a caudal appendage and her left buttock was larger than the righ buttock. X-ray examination revealed spina bifida and bony defect of sacrum; computed tomography demonstrated the extension of the tumor from subcutaneous tissue to the spinal canal. Histologically, the pseudotail contained lobulated fatty tissue which was consistent with lipoma. It emphasizes the fact that even lesions that are not situated in the median line should be carefully explored before excision.
