Abstract:
True intramedullary spinal cord lipomas are extremely rare. Two cases of intramedullary spinal cord lipoma are presented. The patients did not exhibit any form of spinal dysraphism. The patients presented with gait difficulty, upper limb weakness, sphincter disturbance, dysesthesias and neck pain. The tumors were removed sub-totally and the neurological grade improved postoperatively in one of the patients.
