Allodynia is the sensation of pain due to non-painful stimuli. It usually occurs due to destructive lesions of the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Allodynia following intradural lipoma surgery has been reported previously. We herein report a case of allodynia developed after microsurgical caudal lipoma excision without associated spinal cord injury.

Purpose: Untethering surgery for lumbosacral lipoma is a preventive procedure, and avoidance of complications and good long-term outcomes are required. We introduced presurgical interactive virtual simulation (IVS) applying three-dimensional multifusion images using a haptic device aimed at improving operative outcomes.

Methods: Fourteen patients with newly diagnosed lumbosacral lipoma were recruited and underwent preoperative IVS.
