Abstract
The author reports an intradural cervical subpial lipoma with parenchymal marginal fibrous tissue causing neurological deterioration. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed the lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging fat suppression was an especially useful tool for diagnosis. The gross appearance and microscopic findings implied that this tumor had a progressive character. A subtotal resection was carried out and pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperatively, the patient made an excellent recovery.
