Babinski sign was negative bilaterally with normoactive deep tendon reflexes. Lumbal magnetic resonance imaging images show ectasia. The diagnosis was lateral meningocele associated with neurofibromatosis. Lumbar meningocele is a benign pathology that can be seen in a wide range from asymptomatic to paraparesis, which does not require surgical treatment, unless it is symptomatic, which is frequently associated with NF1.
