Abstract

Epidural lipomatosis is a rare but severe complication of long-term corticoid treatment. A female who was treated with oral corticoids for more than 4 years developed progressive paraparesis over the course of 2 years. As causal for the clinical symptoms we found a massive epidural lipoma of the thoracic spine. Neurosurgical intervention was necessary.

摘要

硬膜外脂肪增多症是长期使用皮质类固醇治疗的一种罕见但严重的并发症。一名接受口服皮质类固醇治疗超过4年的女性在2年的病程中出现了进行性双下肢轻瘫。我们发现胸椎巨大硬膜外脂肪瘤是导致临床症状的原因。神经外科干预是必要的。
