From: Pathogenesis of spinal intramedullary lipomas: two case reports
A Magnetic resonance images showing a spinal lipoma that went from the cervical region (C5) to the thoracic region (T5). Note the axial T2-weighted image (T2WI). This sequence confirmed the intramedullary subpial localization of the tumor. B Intraoperative images taken under the surgical microscope. Note the lipoma localization under a subpial coat, and the tumor remains anchored to the posterior part of the spinal cord. C Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging immediately after the surgical procedure and 2 years after surgery. No radiological progression is shown during this period, with the tumor remaining invariable. Green lines show the level where the sagittal magnetic resonance imaging is sliced to show the axial view
