  • Title: A gelatinous human tail with lipomyelocele: case report.
    Author: Puvabanditsin S, Garrow E, Gowda S, Joshi-Kale M, Mehta R.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 2013 Jan; 28(1):124-7. PubMed ID: 22467742.
    Abstract:
    We report a female infant who presented with a tail appendage bearing a gelatinous tip and an associated lipomyelocele. Magnetic resonance images revealed the presence of spina bifida and a tract in continuity from the tail to the conus medullaris. The tail was surgically removed. A human tail may be associated with underlying spinal dysraphism. Magnetic resonance or computed tomographic imaging is required in such cases for complete evaluation. This is the first case report of gelatinous-tip human tail.
