 Segmental spinal dysgenesis is characterized by focal agenesis or dysgenesis of the lumbar or thoracolumbar spine, with abnormality of the underlying spinal cord and nerve roots. Here, we report a case of segmental spinal dysgenesis in the lumbar spine. A 3-year-old boy developed gait disturbance and neurogenic bladder and was referred to our clinic. CT demonstrated hypoplasia of the anterior L3 body and absence of the L4 body with a remnant ring-shaped lamina. MRI revealed severe local kyphosis and compression of the spinal cord that was tethered by a spinal lipoma. A favorable outcome was obtained by an anterior decompression and fibula strut graft followed by a posterior fusion with instrumentation. Because of the associated syringomyelia and tethering of the spinal cord, further careful observation is necessary.
