Magnetic resonance imaging of a high cervical intradural lipoma.
A case of intradural spinal lipoma, rarely seen in the high cervical region, is described. Extension into the posterior fossa is not infrequent with these rare tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly showed the longitudinal dimension of the tumor as well as the infiltrative extension into the spinal cord without any invasive procedure.
