[Neurotrophic plantar ulcers in myelodysplasia].

In a female patient which had been operated shortly after birth because of lumbal myelomeningocele, suddenly trophic ulcera of the toes of her right foot occurred. Rapid healing was achieved after laminectomy and successfull exstirpation of an epidural lipoma and a fibrous band which compressed the cauda equina at the level L4.
