Lumbosacral lipoma investigated by conventional radiography, ultrasound and direct coronal mode CT-scanning.
The authors describe a case of lipoma of the lumbosacral region, associated with meningocele in an infant and advocate the utilization of CT scanning in direct coronal mode (DCM) and ultrasound (US) as means of diagnosis of the extension and geography of the lesion and differential diagnosis. The surgical management is also indicated.
