From: Role of ultrasonography in screening of spinal dysraphism in infants at risk
Two-year-old male infant presented with low back fatty swelling since birth. A Sagittal T2WI, B Sagittal T1WI, C Sagittal fat suppressed images showing tethered cord ending at level of L5 with a subcutaneous fatty mass extending into spinal canal through non fused spinous process of L5, S1 and S2 as well as dural defect with lipoma placode interface seen within spinal canal (white arrows in A, B and C), a hypointense lesion is seen at the interface likely fibrous/calcified elements. D Sagittal USG image showing tethered cord at level of L5 (white arrow). E Axial USG image at level of L5 showing non fused spinous process with herniation of subcutaneous fat into spinal canal. Type of spinal dysraphism: Lipomyelocele
