Ependyma-Lined Canal with Surrounding Neuroglial Tissues in Lumbosacral Lipomatous Malformations: Relationship with Retained Medullary Cord

Conclusion: The 13.9% incidence of association between the ependymal structures and filar and caudal types is thought to be because of second ary neurulation failure with the same embryological background as that of RMC. Dorsal and transitional types, resulting from primary neurulation failure, therefore, did not have ependymal structures.Pediatr Neurosurg
