  • Title: [Extradural lipomatosis after long-term treatment with steroids].
    Author: Burkhardt N, Hamann GF.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 2006 Dec; 77(12):1477-9. PubMed ID: 17093956.
    Abstract:
    Epidural lipomatosis is a rare but severe complication of long-term corticoid treatment. A female who was treated with oral corticoids for more than 4 years developed progressive paraparesis over the course of 2 years. As causal for the clinical symptoms we found a massive epidural lipoma of the thoracic spine. Neurosurgical intervention was necessary.
