  • Title: [Clinical analysis of diagnosis and treatment of 44 cases with intraspinal lipoma].
    Author: Mai J, Liang Y, Li M.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1996 Dec; 34(12):735-6. PubMed ID: 9590774.
    Abstract:
    44 cases of intraspinal lipoma were confirmed by pathologic examination. We excised the lipomas totally or partly. After surgery, 8 cases improved greatly, 19 cases improved, 18 not improved. CT scan and MRI are the key methods for diagnosis of intraspinal lipoma, most of intraspinal lipomas are adherent to the spine and root of nerves tightly and difficult to be dissected. So it's not easy to excise the lipoma entirely. But if we use microsurgery we can get better results.
