Abstract
Co-existence of Chiari I malformation and myelomeningocele is uncommon . Syringomyelia, when associated with a Chiari I malformation, classic ally involves the cervical spinal cord. Intramedullary extension of li poma is unusual in lipomyeloschisis. A patient with lumbar lipomyelome ningocele with tethered cord, lower thoracic syringomyelia and Chiari I malformation, shown by MRI is reported.
