Large intramedullary lipoma of the cervical cord and posterior fossa. Case report.

A large intramedullary lipoma of the cervical cord extending into the posterior fossa is reported in a 7-year-old boy. Magnetic resonance imaging was very useful for delineation of the anatomy of the lipoma as an aid in planning the operation.
