Abstract

Closed spinal dysraphisms have a still unknown prevalence and involve a wide
variety of forms. Lipoma of the filum terminale is considered within spinal lipomas
and is usually associated with tethered medulla. Lumbosacral cutaneous stigmata
are not always indicative of closed spinal dysraphism. We report a case of prenatal
diagnosis of sacral cutaneous appendage with suspected tethered cord, confirmed
at birth as lipoma of the filum terminale with tethered cord.
