Abstract

We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with a 1-year history of progressive spastic paraparesis, due to an extradural angiolipoma of the mid-thoracic spine. The MRI appearance of the angiolipoma is reported here for the first time. This appearance is characteristic, allows preoperative diagnosis and assists planning of the surgical approach.
