dc.description.abstract | Background: Intracranial lipomas are considered congenital malformations and in fact are often associated with specific brain malformations. They are often incidental findings and are very rarely associated with symptomatology. Lipomas in the spinal cord, on the other hand, are more likely to be symptomatic and may present with symptoms such as sensory disturbances, paraplegia and incontinence. Their characteristic imaging findings allows the diagnosis to be made radiologically with no need for a histological diagnosis. | en_GB |
