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

Abstract

Key clinical message 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.
