Abstract
Thoracic spinal epidural lipomatosis, a rare cause of myelopathy, is most commonly associated with exogenous corticosteroid use. The authors present the clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and surgical findings for two patients with idiopathic epidural lipomatosis, successfully treated with decompressive laminectomy accompanied by fatty debulking, followed for > 3 postoperative years. They review the literature on idiopathic spinal epidural lipomatosis as well as cases associated with exogenous steroid use.
