Abstract
Co-existence of Chiari I malformation and myelomeningocele is uncommon. Syringomyelia, when associated with a Chiari I malformation, classically involves the cervical spinal cord. Intramedullary extension of lipoma is unusual in lipomyeloschisis. A patient with lumbar lipomyelomeningocele with tethered cord, lower thoracic syringomyelia and Chiari I malformation, shown by MRI is reported.Keywords
