From: Pathogenesis of spinal intramedullary lipomas: two case reports
A Sagittal and axial Magnetic resonance images showing the cervicomedullary lipoma. Note the absence of laminas in the cervical vertebrae, a result of the previous surgical resections. B Intraoperative images. From left to right, we can see the arachnoid coat, the subpial lipoma, the cervicomedullary junction after lifting part of the lipoma, and finally, stimulation of residual tumor remains anchored to the posterior part of the medulla. C Postoperative MR images. The posterior lengthening of the medullary cord made resection of the tumor quite challenging. Green lines show the level where the sagittal magnetic resonance imaging is sliced to show the axial view
