Symptomatic spinal epidural lipomatosis after local epidural corticosteroid injections: case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Resection of intracranial tumors in the posterior hippocampus and the parahippocampal gyrus can be associated with significant morbidity because of the parenchymal resection and the cortical retraction often required in gaining access to this infrequently explored region. With the use of image guidance, the o...
