Summary
Spinal lipomas were diagnosed using CT or MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved superior to computed tomography (CT) and myelography for detecting tethered cords alongside lipomas.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Spinal lipomas are rare tumors composed of fatty tissue.
- Their diagnosis and association with other spinal abnormalities can be challenging.
- The exact cause of spinal lipomas is not fully understood.
