 There are postoperative findings related to lipomyelomeningocele repair. There is a mass with fat signal characteristics along the conus medullaris that is intimately associated with the cauda equina nerve roots. The mass measures 1.5 x 1.4 x 5.8 cm, previously measures 1.5 x 1.3 x 5.8 cm. The conus medullaris appears to extend to approximately the L3-L4 level and there is no significant ventral translation on prone imaging. The vertebral column alignment is uchanged. The vertebral body and disc space heights are preserved. The vertebral bone marrow signal is unremarkable.
Postoperative findings related to lipomyelomeningocele repair without significant change in the residual intradural lipomatous mass surrounding the low-lying conus and involving the distorted cauda equina roots with suggestion of re-tethering.
