Idiopathic Spinal Epidural Lipomatosis in the Lumbar Spine.
Overgrowth of epidural fat, known as spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL), can cause symptomatic compression of the spinal cord, conus medullaris, or cauda equina. Suggested predisposing factors such as obesity, steroid use, and diabetes mellitus have been based on a few reported cases, many of which were not surgically confirmed.

He was overweight with a body mass index of 30.8 kg/m2. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extensive epidural lipomatosis of lumobsacral spine with significant constrictive compression of the thecal sac. Case 2: A...

متن کاملAcute spinal pain during an attempted lumbar epidural blood patch in congenital lumbar spinal stenosis and epidural lipomatosis.
Congenital lumbar spinal stenosis is an uncommon condition that is often asymptomatic in young adults. Herein, we document the first reported occurrence of acute radicular back pain and associated congenital lumbar spinal stenosis in a healthy 24-year-old woman undergoing an epidural blood patch for treatment of a post-dural puncture headache related to an accidental dural puncture sustained du...
متن کاملIdiopathic Lumbar Epidural Lipomatosis Mimicking Disc Herniation: A Case Report.
Spinal epidural lipomatosis is a rare condition which is described as the accumulation of fat in the extradural territory and often causes dural impingement. Spinal epidural lipomatosis has been implicated in causing a variety of neurologic impairments ranging from back pain, radiculopathy, claudication, myelopathy or even cauda equina syndrome. We report a 46-year-old female with obesity and a...
