Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare pathologic growth of histologically normal nonencapsulated adipose tissue in the epidural space. It can cause myelopathy or radiculopathy. Etiologies include chronic exposure to endogenous or exogenous steroids and obesity. Idiopathic forms are much infrequent. We present a case of lumbar SEL compressing the thecal sac in a 50-year-old female patient.
脊髓硬膜外脂肪增多症（SEL）是一种罕见的病理学现象，表现为硬膜外间隙内组织学正常的非包膜脂肪组织异常生长。它可导致脊髓病或神经根病。病因包括长期暴露于内源性或外源性类固醇以及肥胖。特发性形式较为少见。我们报告一例50岁女性患者，其腰椎SEL压迫硬膜囊。
