چکیده
Cervical lipomyelomeningocele is a rare congenital spinal pathology.

Early intervention is recommended even in cases with normal neurological examinations in order to prevent deterioration but our patient with cervical lipomyelomeningocele had a normal neurological examination despite his age (22 year-old) and had no urodynamic dysfunction.
