Ahmet Metin Sanli et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2010 Jun.

Abstract

Introduction: Intradural spinal lipoma is rare and seen about 1% of all tumors of the spinal cord. Lipomas of the cervical location with intracranial extension are extremely rare and are described as intramedullary or subpial location.

Case: A 12-year-old female with lipoma of the cervicothoracic spinal cord demonstrated progressive quadriparesis. The patient underwent surgery with decompression of the affected craniocervical location.

Discussion: In the reported case, we describe a rare intradural lipoma of the cervicothoracic spinal cord with posterior fossa extension in the child, and the relevant English medical literature is reviewed.
