Abstract

We have experienced a case of congenital dermal sinus complicated intramedullary abscess and menigitis due to secondary infection through sinus. In this case the dermal sinus was developed to dermoid cyst at cauda equina in lower lumbar level, and so severly adherent to cauda equina and conns medullaris that, we could not remove the cyst operatively. We have concluded that the latent dermal sinus should be removed surgically, as soon as possible for good result of neurological and physical handcaps.
