  • Symptomatic retethering of the spinal cord in postoperative Lipomyelomeningocele patients: a meta-analysis.
    Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2015
    Co-Authors: Dylan J. Goodrich, Marios Loukas, R. Shane Tubbs, Dipen Patel, W. Jerry Oakes
    Abstract:

    Background Timing of surgical treatment for tethered cord syndrome due to a Lipomyelomeningocele (LMM) has been controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate populations of patients treated surgically for LMM in a meta-analysis in order to better understand how outcomes differ based on follow-up time, symptomatology, and LMM classification.

  • Govert Bidloo (1649–1713) and the first description of Lipomyelomeningocele
    Child's Nervous System, 2013
    Co-Authors: R. Shane Tubbs, Marios Loukas, Phillip Cezayirli, William T. Blackerby, Mohammadali Mohajel Shoja, W. Jerry Oakes
    Abstract:

    Introduction Govert Bidloo was a Dutch anatomist and royal physician who lived during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Most remembered for his anatomy text and feud with contemporary William Cowper, Bidloo’s surgical text appears to describe the first case of what is now known as a Lipomyelomeningocele. Methods The authors review the life of Bidloo and his description of this pathologic entity. Conclusions Govert Bidloo appears to have described a Lipomyelomeningocele almost 200 years before the description often mentioned as the sentinel paper on this topic.

  • Predicting orthopedic involvement in patients with Lipomyelomeningoceles
    Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2007
    Co-Authors: R. Shane Tubbs, Marios Loukas, Robert P. Naftel, Michael Conklin, Mohammadali Mohajel Shoja, Richard G. Winters, Veena K. Acharya, W. Jerry Oakes
    Abstract:

    Introduction Lipomyelomeningoceles (LMM) occur in approximately 1 in every 4,000 live births in the United States. They are associated with a wide range of problems in affected patients, including skin abnormalities, sensory and motor deficits, pain, urinary bladder and anal sphincter dysfunction, and orthopedic deformities.

  • Critical analysis of the Chiari malformation Type I found in children with Lipomyelomeningocele.
    Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2007
    Co-Authors: R. Shane Tubbs, Cuong J. Bui, William C. Rice, Marios Loukas, Robert P. Naftel, Michael Paul Holcombe, W. Jerry Oakes
    Abstract:

    Object. Occasional comments are found in the literature regarding patients with Lipomyelomeningocele and concomitant Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I). The object of this study was to explore the association between these two conditions. Methods. The authors performed a retrospective database analysis of Lipomyelomeningocele cases to identify cases of concomitant CM-I. Analysis of posterior fossa volume (based on the Cavalieri principle) was performed in all identified cases in which appropriate neuroimages were available, and the results were compared with those obtained in age-matched controls. Seven (13%) of 54 patients with Lipomyelomeningocele were found to also have CM-I. Two of these were symptomatic (cervicothoracic syrinx and occipital headaches) and required posterior fossa decompression. No correlation was found between the amount of hindbrain herniation and the level of the conus medullaris or the type of Lipomyelomeningocele (for example, caudal or transitional). Volumetric studies of the posterior fossa revealed normal age-matched volumes in all but one patient (who had asymptomatic CM-I). Conclusions. The incidence of CM-I in patients with Lipomyelomeningocele appears to be significantly greater than that of the general population and the association rate is too high for the finding to be a chance occurrence. Decreases in the volume of the posterior cranial fossa were not found in the majority of patients in this small cohort; therefore, the cause of the concomitant occurrence of Lipomyelomeningocele and CM-I remains undetermined. Clinicians should consider obtaining imaging studies of the entire neuraxis in patients with Lipomyelomeningoceles and should investigate other causes for syringes found in association with Lipomyelomeningoceles.

  • Combined spinal intramedullary arteriovenous malformation and Lipomyelomeningocele
    Neuroradiology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Y. C. Weon, J. I. Chung, H. S. Byun
    Abstract:

    Combined spinal arteriovenous malformation and Lipomyelomeningocele are extremely rare. We present a rare combined case of a Lipomyelomeningocele with an intramedullary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) occurred at the L3–L4 level in a 30-year-old man who suffered from low back pain radiating to the lower extremities, dysuria, and frequency for 5 years. The MR studies showed an intradural mass with high-signal intensity on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, intermingled with multiple signal-void structures. The mass extended extradurally toward a subcutaneously forming fatty mass on the patient’s back. Spinal angiography showed an AVM supplied by the radiculopial branches of the lumbar arteries and drained by tortuous, dilated, perimedullary veins. Endovascular embolization and surgical resection were performed.

  • Intraspinal epidermoid cyst occurring 15 years after Lipomyelomeningocele repair
    Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 1999
    Co-Authors: Jun-hyeok Song, Myung-hyun Kim, Kyu-man Shin
    Abstract:

    ✓ The authors report the case of a spinal epidermoid cyst that developed in a patient who had undergone surgery for Lipomyelomeningocele repair 15 years earlier. The patient presented with symptoms of retethering. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic intraspinal mass that extended from L-2 to L-5. The mass proved to be an epidermoid cyst. Spinal epidermoid cysts can cause retethering after a repair of Lipomyelomeningocele, and the risk of this development can be present for decades.
