Intramedullary Spinal Epidermoid Cyst—A Rare Cause of Spastic Paraparesis

Abstract Spinal intramedullary epidermoids are rare intramedullary lesions of the spinal cord. They may be congenital or acquired with the congenital type often associated with spinal dysraphism and other spinal anomalies. The clinical presentation depends on the level of the involvement of the spinal cord. Management of these lesions is surgical excision. We report a case of intramedullary spinal epidermoid who presented with spastic paraparesis.
