Congenital lumbar spinal stenosis is believed to rarely cause neurologic symptoms during childhood. We present a 16-year-old boy with bilateral congenital clubfeet surgically corrected by tendo Achillis releases at 2 years of age who presented with progressive, bilateral footdrop. Magnetic resonance imaging of his lumbosacral spine showed severe spinal stenosis at the L3-5 vertebrae. Congenital lumbar spinal stenosis is probably an under-recognized cause of lower extremity neurologic abnormalities, including clubfoot deformity. Magnetic resonance imaging has made this eminently treatable disorder easier to recognize. (J Child Neurol 2002;17:72-74).
