Imaging diagnosis of lateral meningocele syndrome

Abstract

Lateral meningocele syndrome, also known as Lehman syndrome, is an exceptionally uncommon genetic disorder, which is characterized by specific facial features and multisystem involvement, including skeletal, cardiac, and urogenital anomalies, akin to other connective tissue disorders, but it is set apart by the unique occurrence of multiple lateral meningoceles. Knowledge of the distinctive imaging features can strongly suggest the diagnosis in patients with complex clinical presentations to assist in the guidance of appropriate and timely clinical management.
