Resumen

Los lipomas son masas de tejido adiposo maduro, que se localizan con más frecuencia en la zona lumbosacra, y se asocian frecuentemente a defectos del tubo neural. Los lipomas espinales a niveles más rostrales se asocian con menos frecuencia con malformaciones congénitas, pero pueden producir afectación neurológica más grave. Sólo se han descrito raros casos de lipomas a nivel cervical sin compromiso neurológico.

Presentamos una paciente de 10 años de edad que se quejaba de dolor cervical y tortícolis leve en relación con un lipoma intradural a nivel C7-T1 y sin afectación neurológica. El lipoma fue intervenido y resecado sub-totalmente sin deterioro postoperatorio.

Summary

Lipomas are masses composed of mature adipose tissue, usually affecting lumbosacral levéis, often associated with neural tube defects. Spinal lipomas at more rostral levéis are usually unassociated with congenital abnormalities, but may produce a more severe neural compromise. Rare reports of cervical lipoma without neurological déficit have been described.

We present the case of a 10-years-old girl who complained of cervical pain and stiff neck related to a C7-T1 intradural lipoma, without neurological affectation. The lipoma was partially resected without posto-perative deterioration.

Key words:
Spinal tumors
Spinal lipoma
Spinal dysraphia
