Sacral intraspinal lipoma associated with congenital iliac anomaly.

2 cases of a peculiar unilateral protuberance near the iliac bone with intraspinal abnormalities are reported. 8 cases have been described in the literature with this characteristic congenital association; they indicate the frequency of an occult spinal dysraphism which must be proved by myelography. In each case, surgical treatment of bone abnormality or of intraspinal lesions, or of both, should be discussed.
