Cervical lipomyelomeningocele is a rare congenital spinal pathology. Lipomyelomeningocele is the commonest cause of congenital tethering, which causes neurological deterioration due to the conus medullaris and root ischemia. Early intervention is recommended even in cases with normal neurological examinations in order to prevent deterioration but our patient with cervical lipomyelomeningocele had a normal neurological examination despite his age (22 year-old) and had no urodynamic dysfunction.
El lipomielomeningocele cervical es una patología raquídea congénita rara. El lipomielomeningocele es la causa más frecuente de anclaje medular, que da lugar a deterioro neurológico, debido a isquemia del cono medular y de las raíces. Se recomienda la intervención precoz, incluso en casos con examen neurológico normal, con el fin de prevenir un deterioro, pero nuestro paciente con lipomielomeningocele cervical tenía un examen neurológico normal, a pesar de su edad (22 años) y no tenía ninguna disfunción urinaria.
