Abstract. We present the case of a 60-year-old farmer who reported non-specific back pains for the past 30 years. Increasing paralysis of the left leg led to hospitalization. A complex occult spinal dysraphism comprising a fibrolipoma of the conus medullaris, an neurenteric cyst, and a tethered cord syndrome was diagnosed and operated on. The radiological and histological findings are demonstrated.
