Abstract

Intramedullary spinal cord lipomas are very rare spinal tumors, most of them related to spinal dysraphism. We report the case of an oligosymptomatic patient, presenting with a thoraco-lumbar nondysraphic intramedullary spinal cord lipoma, with an unusual biphasic sign on T1-weighted MRI, and submitted to microsurgical biopsy. Features of origin, evolution, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
