Abstract
Lipomyelomeningocele, a rare spinal anomaly present at birth, involves a lipoma firmly connected to the back of the neural placode, extending outward through a defect in the spine known as spina bifida and merging with subcutaneous fat tissue. MRI imaging is crucial in both diagnosing and managing this condition. Our report details the identification of a lipomyelomeningocele in two infants, aged 3 months and 18 months, respectively.
