title: Rapid growth of intraspinal lipoma demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: The remarkable growth of an intradural lipoma during a period of 6 months is demonstrated by serial magnetic resonance imaging in an infant with lipomyelomeningocele. This observation provides additional support for early prophylactic surgery in patients with lipomyelomeningoceles.
