Resumen

Presentamos un caso de Lipomatosis extradural espinal en un paciente previamente tratado de un glioma anaplásico cerebral mediante cirugía y radioterapia, que recibió tratamiento con ACTH durante un largo período.

Las manifestaciones clínicas fueron de raquialgia, paraparesia con dolor y disestesias en ambas extremidades inferiores.

El diagnóstico se realizó mediante Resonancia Magnética. La retirada progresiva del tratamiento con ACTH hasta su supresión logró la recuperación clínica completa del paciente y la desaparición en los estudios de neuroimagen de la compresión provocada por la lipomatosis.

Realizamos una revisión de la literatura aportando datos que consideramos de interés y que se derivan de la amplitud de la serie sometida a estudio.

Summary

Authors present a male patient with Spinal Extradural Lipomatosis, previously treated of a cerebral astrocytoma with surgery and radiotherapy, after which he received ACTH for a long period of time.

Clinical manifestations were rachialgia, paraparesia with pain and dysestesias in both lower extremities.

Diagnosis was carried out by Magnetic Resonance imaging.

After a progressive withdrawal of the treatment with ACTH, the patient achieved a complete recovery and neuroimaging studies showed the dissappearance of the compression caused by the lipomatosis.

We carry out a revision of the literature showing data we consider of interest derived from the wide series subjected to study.
