title: An accessory limb with lipomyelomeningocele in a male.
abstract: At 7 months, an infant born with a third limb attached to a lumbosacral mass with an associated lipomyelomeningocele underwent removal of the limb and spinal cord detethering. Depending on the complexity of the pathology and proximity of the limb to viscera, consultation with neurosurgical and surgical colleagues is recommended.
