Abstract
Excessive deposition of fat in the epidural space is rare. In a recent review of the literature, there were 15 reported cases, 14 were associated with steroid use and one was attributed to hypothyroidism. This report reviews treatment of a patient with symptoms of cauda equina compression caused by epidural adipose tissue. He had no history of steroid use or obvious evidence of an underlying endocrinopathy.
