Spinal epidural lipomatosis revealing endogenous Cushing's syndrome

Dominique Dumont-Fischer et al. Joint Bone Spine. 2002 Mar.

Abstract

Spinal epidural lipomatosis is defined as accumulation of nonencapsulated fat within the spinal canal. It occurs chiefly in patients on long-term glucocorticoid therapy or in obese patients without any other detectable cause. We report the second case of spinal epidural lipomatosis revealing endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
