Abstract
Study Design Case report.
Objective The study aims to report a rare case of dorsal intramedullary lipoma, its management, and outcome.
Background We are reporting the rare case of a 23-year-old man with dorsal intramedullary lipoma without spinal dysraphism. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management are discussed with relevant review of literature.
Conclusion Intramedullary cord lipoma without spinal dysraphism can be a cause of myelopathy, and proper diagnosis with MRI and subtotal excision preserving the vital cord parenchyma should be the goal, which can give a better outcome. |
