Abstract :
We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with huge cervical intramedullary lipoma, who presented with spastic quadriparesis. Her MRI revealed an intramedullary lipoma extending from the craniovertebral junction to the sixth cervical vertebra. There was no spinal dysraphism. Subtotal excision of tumor with primary dural closure and laminoplasty was performed from C3 to C6, which produced an improvement in the patient’s function.
