[Successful management of malum perforans resulting from spina bifida].
Authors observed a boy presented a protrusion positioned lumbosacral, existing since his birth. Later, on inner side of both heels ulcers began to take shape, being not curable by local treatment. Neurologic examination verified severe radicular lesion, magnetic resonance investigation showed lumbosacral lipo-meningocele. After its surgical treatment, ulcers on soles healed up. Neurotropic ulcer develops on sites exposed to pressure, being generally painless. Several sickness may lead to its development. In childhood occurrence is relatively rare. At this age mostly various closure troubles of medullary tube may stand in the background. To successful treatment of malum perforans--besides local therapy--that of underlying illness is essential as well.
