ABSTRACT
Terminal myelocystocele (TMC) is a rare form of spinal dysraphism which arises due to aberration in the secondary neurulation process involving the caudal cell mass. Terminal myelocystocele has been defined by Pang et al. based on essential and non-essential features. One of the non-essential features includes non dysraphic lipomas which do not tether to the neural placode. We are presenting two cases which meets all the essential criteria outlined by Pang et al. for TMC but also show the presence of a lipomatous component tethering to the neural placode, similar to a dysraphic lipoma. Through this article, we want to showcase a subset which represents "true" terminal lipomyelocystocele (TLMC), bridging the spectrum of spinal dysraphism between TMC and lipomyelomeningocele (LMM).
