Abstract

Non-terminal myelocystoceles are commonly found in the cervical or thoracic spinal region. Their sac can rarely be associated with tumor. A rare case of an infant with a lumbosacral non-terminal myelocystocele and accompanying mature teratoma is reported in whom the tumor was attached to the placode not as a part of the sac. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
