Late neurological dysfunction in adult lumbosacral lipoma.

Abstract:

:The case of a 53-year-old woman with adult-onset neurological dysfunction secondary to spinal dysraphia and lumbosacral lipoma is presented. This condition not only affects children, but may produce neurological troubles also in adult age. This observation confirms that lumbosacral lipomas do not represent a static condition but carry the potential for late neurological dysfunction and therefore they should be treated in early life to prevent late complications. Besides the adult-onset urinary dysfunction and lumbosacral and sciatic pain should suggest the possibility of spinal dysraphia and lumbosacral lipoma.
