Abstract
Spinal cord lipomas constitute a very small percentage of all CNS tumors. The incidence of nondysraphic intramedullary lipoma of spinal cord is below 1% of all spinal cord tumors. Due to their mass effect, they can significantly cause progressive neurological deficits. We present a case of one and half year old girl with paraparesis. MRI whole spine was done which suggested C5-T1 intramedullary spinal cord lipoma. Laminectomy of C5, C6 and L1 with laminoplastic laminotomy from C7 to T12 for subtotal resection of lipoma was done. Early detection and timely treatment of intramedullary is recommended to prevent disease progression and better surgical outcome.
