Resumen

Closed spinal dysraphisms have a still unknown prevalence and involve a wide variety of forms. Lipoma of the flum terminale is considered within spinal lipomas and is usually associated with tethered medulla. Lumbosacral cutaneous stigmata are not always indicative of closed spinal dysraphism. We report a case of prenatal diagnosis of sacral cutaneous appendage with suspected tethered cord, confrmed at birth as lipoma of the flum terminale with tethered cord.
