Abstract

Intraspinal lipomas are rare congenital tumours that most commonly occur at the conus. We describe a thoracic intraspinal lipoma presenting with a myelopathy and imaged by MRI. Surgical decompression and dural enlargement appears to be the treatment of choice in those patients who develop spinal cord dysfunction associated with an intraspinal lipoma.

摘要

脊髓内脂肪瘤是罕见的先天性肿瘤，最常发生于圆锥部位。我们描述了一例表现为脊髓病并经磁共振成像（MRI）检查的胸段脊髓内脂肪瘤。对于那些出现与脊髓内脂肪瘤相关的脊髓功能障碍的患者，手术减压及硬脊膜扩大成形术似乎是首选的治疗方法。
