ABSTRACT
Idiopathic spinal epidural lipomatosis [ISEDL] is a rare condition. Spinal epidural lipomatosis [SEDL] is usually associated with the use of steroids as treatment. It may also result from elevation of endogenous steroids. The term idiopathic epidural lipomatosis is used only when there is no exogenous or endogenous steroid elevated level. We present a case of ISEDL treated at our hospital. The patient, who was a 38-year-old male, improved spontaneously after weight reduction
