Intraspinal lipomas are rare congenital tumors. Surgical decompression and dural enlargement is the preferred treatment for thoracic intraspinal lipomas causing spinal cord dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intraspinal lipomas are uncommon congenital tumors.
  • They most frequently occur at the conus medullaris.

Observation:

  • This study reports a rare case of a thoracic intraspinal lipoma.
  • The patient presented with symptoms of myelopathy.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical decompression and dural enlargement are identified as the optimal treatment.
  • This approach is recommended for patients with spinal cord dysfunction due to intraspinal lipomas.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing intraspinal lipomas.
