Lipoma of cervical spinal cord and posterior fossa. Case report.

Abstract
A case is reported of cervical spinal cord lipoma with extension into the posterior fossa and a leading symptom of apnea. A C1-C7 laminectomy and debulking of the medullary portion of the lipoma were performed with good results. The apneic spells were completely resolved. Intraspinal lipoma with posterior fossa extension is a rare condition and requires surgical intervention to relieve symptoms.
