We confirmed it with radiological(postmyelography CT and MRI) and pathological diagnosis. Pre-, post- and intraoperative SSEP(somatosensory evoked potential) monitoring were performed. Characteristically, the mass contained accessory cord which attached to inner cyst wall with multiple fibrous bands. Meningomyelocele was completely removed without any neurologic sequelae.
