We report a case of symptomatic epidural lipomatosis in a 36-year-old man following a heart lung transplant and 3.5 years of steroid medication. A review of the pertinent literature emphasises the importance of including this diagnosis in the differential diagnosis of patients receiving steroid medication or markedly obese patients with back pain or symptoms suggesting spinal cord or cauda equina compression.
我们报告一例36岁男性在心肺移植及3.5年类固醇药物治疗后发生症状性硬膜外脂肪增多症的病例。对相关文献的回顾强调了在接受类固醇药物治疗的患者或有背痛或提示脊髓或马尾神经受压症状的明显肥胖患者的鉴别诊断中纳入这一诊断的重要性。
