Key Points

  • This research aims to highlight the challenges and outcomes associated with resecting spinal angiolipomas.
  • Presented a case of a 33-year-old patient with severe spinal cord compression due to spinal angiolipoma.
  • Performed resection of Th6-Th8 extradural tumor exceeding 5 cm.
  • Conducted a literature review using databases such as Pubmed, Medline, and Cochrane Library.
  • Complete regression of preoperative lower spastic paraparesis was observed post-surgery.
  • Gait improvement was noted in the patient after tumor resection.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Spinal angiolipomas (SA) are rare primary tumors accounting for 0.14-1.2% of all spinal cord and spine tumors and approximately 3% of extradural spinal neoplasms ( 5 cm causing severe dural sac compression was excised. In early postoperative period, there were complete regression of preoperative lower spastic paraparesis and gait improvement. CONCLUSION: SAs are extremely rare, and their total resection with preservation or improvement of neurological status is possible in a specialized hospital.
