Spinal extradural lipomas. Report of two cases.
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery
|January 1, 1983
Summary
Intraspinal extradural lipomas are rare, benign tumors. This study presents two cases without spina bifida, discussing diagnosis and literature.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Intraspinal extradural lipomas are uncommon benign tumors.
- They typically present without associated congenital anomalies like spina bifida.
Observation:
- Two cases of intraspinal extradural lipomas were identified.
- These lipomas occurred in the absence of spina bifida.
Findings:
- The study reviews the clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging (myelography) of these rare tumors.
- Differential diagnoses for intraspinal masses are discussed.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering lipomas in the differential diagnosis of intraspinal lesions.
- Contributes to the understanding of this rare condition and its management.
