title: Epidural lipomatosis. Interest of magnetic resonance imaging in a weight-reduction treated case.
abstract: An obese patient with bilateral sciatic pain had epidural lipomatosis on magnetic resonance examination. Treatment that used a weight-reduction program eliminated the symptoms, and after magnetic resonance imaging, revealed reduction of the lipomatosis deposits.
