Abstract
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome whose hallmark lesions are benign lipomas of the brain and spinal cord. The authors present a case of a male infant with ECCL who had extensive brainstem and spinal cord lipomas. The management of this patient's hydrocephalus, cervicomedullary compression, tethered cord, and scoliosis over the course of his first 2 years of life is described. This case report and review of the literature is presented to provide a synopsis of the problems likely to be encountered by neurosurgeons who treat patients with this syndrome.
