The lipomyelomeningocele (LMMC) is a type of congenital occult spinal dysraphism consistent with the presence of lipomatous tissue adhering to the epinetic marrow, which falls through a defect of the vertical colon with the former meninges and the marrow under posture the skin. LMMC is the cause of the most frequent congenital attache between the cadre of the syndrome of the attached cord and causes a neurological deterioration due to the compression of the medical bone and the root system which is superadded. It is therefore about a girl from 6 years ago with a swelling located in the region of Lombardy after the birth of the size of a tangerine which has increased the size gradually with age. He presented the interrogation of the signs of urinary incontinence and the fact that he confirmed that he left us to fellow therapists who sent him to us for support. The local examination of the lumbosacral region revealed a single mass without other distinctive skin signs, spherical in shape, 12 × 10 cm, soft and fixed in consistency. A medullary MRI with effect, which reveals a mass of lipomate consistency at the level of lumbosacral associated with a bone spina extending from L5 to S2. Surgical treatment was indicated as the patient had urinary problems. There were no postoperative complications and after a few months postoperative symptoms improved.

✓Spinal lipomas, particularly lipomas of the conus medullaris and terminal filum, are the most common form of occult spinal dysraphism and represent a wide spectrum of disease with regard to anatomy, clinical presentation, and treatment options. These lesions, however, are united by a similar embryology and pathological mechanism by which symptoms arise. Recently, the treatment of these lesions has generated much controversy, with some physicians advocating surgical treatment for all patients regardless of symptoms and others proposing that surgery be withheld until symptoms develop. The authors discuss lumbosacral spinal lipomas, with particular attention to the theories of their origin, anatomical and pathological features, and treatment options, including a review of current controversies.

✓The treatment of a patient with symptoms of a tethered spinal cord and in whom a fatty infiltrated terminal filum is found is controversial. The authors review their experience and the literature regarding this aspect of occult spinal dysraphism. From experience, transection of a fatty terminal filum in patients with symptoms related to excessive caudal cord tension is a minor procedure that generally yields good results. The most problematic issue in the literature is what patients and symptoms are best suited to surgical treatment.
