ABSTRACT
Among all intramedullary spinal cord lesions, intramedullary spinal cord lipomas account less than 1%. Non-dysraphic intramedullary lipoma is very rare. It is most commonly seen in cervicodorsal region followed by cervico bulbar, lumbar and sometimes multiple. Here we present a 17-year-old female who underwent MRI due to upper dorsal pain followed by progressive bilateral lower limb weakness which showed intramedullary lesion extending from T1-T9, involving eight vertebral segments with distal syrinx and features suggestive of lipoma. Patient underwent surgical decompression of lipoma. Patient had an uneventful post-operative period. Diagnosis confirmed by histopathology.
