title: [Epidural lipomatosis as a complication of glucocorticoid treatment].
abstract: Epidural lipomatosis can be induced by systemic glucocorticoid treatment and may cause severe neurologic deficits. So far, 41 patients have been reported in the literature. Early recognition of this rare, relatively unknown, but extremely important side effect of exogenously administered glucocorticoids can help avoid persistent neurological sequelae.
