Multiple intradural spinal lipomata with intracranial extension.
An intradural, intramedullary lipoma originating within the upper cervical cord with significant extension into the posterior fossa is reported in an infant. Two additional lipomas were found in the lumbar region. This constellation of findings represents the first description of multiple intradural, intramedullary spinal lipomas with extensive intracranial involvement.
