Abstract

Clinical Neurology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Neuroimaging Neurosciences & Neurology Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging Science & Technology
We report a case of congenital dermoid cyst of the conus medullaris without associated dysraphic lesion treated surgically. An 18-year-old man had a one-year history of binder sphincter disorders and more recent acute renal failure with urinary tract infection. The diagnosis of intramedullary tumor was provided by myelo CT and MRI confirmed by histology. At 10-month follow-up, the postoperative course was good.
