The authors report two cases of intradural spinal cord. The first is located in the thoracic segment, the second has a cervico-thoracic seat. In the two cases these spinal cords lipoma are responsible for a progressive medullary compression. In this article the authors make a succinct review of the literature. They underline also the fundamental part of the MRI for the diagnosis and the injured balance sheet of the intradural spinal cord lipoma.

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.
