Adult nondysraphic cervicomedullary intramedullary lipoma: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT

Intra-dural perimedullary lipomas involving craniovertebral region are rare. There is no clear tumor-cord border and patients are at high risk of neurological deficits after surgery. Partial resection of the mass and neural decompression are the main surgical strategies in symptomatic patients.
