ABSTRACT
Intradural lipomas not associated with spinal dysraphism are rare tumors of the spinal canal. The clinical course of most of the patients with intradural lipoma is slowly progressive with increasing leg weakness and gait disturbance during the first 5 years of life or early adulthood. Since neurologic deficits usually occur very slowly and insidiously, symptoms are present over 2 years in the majority of patients before a diagnosis is made. In view of such a clinical course, a huge intradural lipoma presenting with no neurological deficits in an adult is a very rare case. We present our recent experience with a case of a huge intradural lipoma of the cervical cord without any association with spinal dysraphism and other anomalies of the spine in a neurologically intact adult patient. A review of the literature is also discussed.
Key Words: Intradural lipoma; Neurological intact condition
