Fig. 1.
Lumbar spine MRI performed due to inflammatory low back pain in a 34-year-old male patient. The lesion appears T1 hyperintense (Fig. 1A), mass is very limited in 3D Cosmic sequence wherein passing the nerve roots (Fig. 1B). Non-dysraphic intradural lipomas are rare (less than 1% of intradural tumors). This image leads to the diagnosis of intradural extramedullary lipoma [1]. These lipomas have clinical presentation as back pain, paraesthesia, radicular pain or urinary dysfunction. The progressive growth of lipoma explains the nerves adaptation and no initial symptoms. In case of surgery, total resections are unnecessary because of no cleavage site between the lesion and nerves.
