Association of Lhermitte-Duclos disease and split cord malformation in a child.
[cowden syndrome]
Lhermitte-
Duclos
disease
(
LDD
)
or
cerebellar
gangliocytoma
is
a
rare
pathological
entity
,
the
etiology
of
which
remains
controversial
.
Numerous
developmental
anomalies
are
known
to
be
associated
with
LDD
,
but
the
association
between
LDD
and
split
cord
malformation
(
SCM
)
has
not
been
reported
to
our
knowledge
.
We
report
LDD
in
a
3
-
year
-old
girl
in
whom
repetitive
urinary
tract
infections
led
to
the
diagnosis
of
a
neurogenic
bladder
.
Thorough
screening
revealed
a
SCM
at
the
thoracic
level
which
was
surgically
repaired
.
The
pathogenesis
of
this
entity
and
management
strategies
are
discussed
in
this
paper
.
