Intramedullary spinal dermoids are benign, uncommon, mostly congenital and slow growing tumours. Here, we present a rare case of ruptured intramedullary dermoid in a 45-year-old male who presented with lower back ache and both lower limb weakness. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrated an elongated mass expanding the conus medullaris and displacing the cauda equina with extension into lower thoracic spinal cord and ruptured fat droplets within the central canal of lower thoracic spinal cord. Correlative CT imaging confirmed the presence of fat within the lesion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
