  • Title: Intradural lipoma in a child.
    Author: Bondi FS, Shokunbi MT, Familusi JB, Aghadiuno PU.
    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 1990; 10(3):315-7. PubMed ID: 1703752.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 5-year-old Nigerian boy in whom conus medullaris and cauda enquina compression was due to an intradural lipoma, a rare tumour of the spinal canal in the tropics. The literature on the subject is briefly reviewed and the differential diagnoses are discussed. The occurrence of the lesion in this child, without other features of spinal dysraphism, is noteworthy.
