Intradural lipomas are rare tumors of the spinal canal. We report the occurrence of this neoplasm in a 19-year-old girl. Magnetic resonance accurately depicted both the exact location within the spinal canal and the precise tumor histology and was more informative than myelography. This case illustrates the value of magnetic resonance imaging in patients presenting with myelopathy. In many instances, this modality may be all that is needed in preoperative planning.
硬脊膜内脂肪瘤是椎管内的罕见肿瘤。我们报告了一名19岁女孩发生这种肿瘤的情况。磁共振成像准确地描绘了肿瘤在椎管内的确切位置以及精确的肿瘤组织学特征，比脊髓造影提供的信息更多。该病例说明了磁共振成像在脊髓病患者中的价值。在许多情况下，这种检查方式可能是术前规划所需要的全部。
