title: Lipomyelocele with osseous dysraphic hamartoma: A rare case report.
abstract: Lipomyelocele is the most common occult spinal dysraphism. However, it can rarely be associated with aberrant tissues such as bone--making it one of the rarest of spinal dysraphism type, called as "osseous dysraphic hamartoma." The authors report such a rare case of lipomyelocele with osseous dysraphic hamartoma. CT and MRI play a complimentary role in accurate diagnosis of this rare dysraphism. Detection of aberrant bone helps plan the surgery.
