Non-dysraphic spinal cord lipomas are rare benign lesions, accounting for approximately 1% of all spinal cord tumors. Patients usually present with long histories of disability followed by rapid progression of their symptoms. Presenting symptoms include spinal pain, dysesthesic sensory changes, gait difficulties, weakness, and incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging is the examination of choice. The T1- and T2-weighted images show increased and decreased signal intensity, respectively. The goal of intervention is decompression and generous debulking following by duraplasty. Early diagnosis of spinal cord lipomas and early surgery is advanced prior to irreversible disease progression. One new case of true non-dysraphic cervicodorsal spinal cord lipoma is reported.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D013120 Spinal Cord Neoplasms Benign and malignant neoplasms which occur within the substance of the spinal cord (intramedullary neoplasms) or in the space between the dura and spinal cord (intradural extramedullary neoplasms). The majority of intramedullary spinal tumors are primary CNS neoplasms including ASTROCYTOMA; EPENDYMOMA; and LIPOMA. Intramedullary neoplasms are often associated with SYRINGOMYELIA. The most frequent histologic types of intradural-extramedullary tumors are MENINGIOMA and NEUROFIBROMA.

D016135 Spinal Dysraphism Congenital defects of closure of one or more vertebral arches, which may be associated with malformations of the spinal cord, nerve roots, congenital fibrous bands, lipomas, and congenital cysts. These malformations range from mild (e.g., SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA) to severe, including rachischisis where there is complete failure of neural tube and spinal cord fusion, resulting in exposure of the spinal cord at the surface. Spinal dysraphism includes all forms of spina bifida. The open form is called SPINA BIFIDA CYSTICA and the closed form is SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA.
