Bakırköy Ruh ve Sinir Hastalıkları Hastanesi III. Nöroşirürji Kliniği, İstanbul Idiopatic spinal epidural lipomatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy. Although spinal epidural lipomatosis is a well-recognized complication of endogenous and exogenous hypercortisolism , the idiopathic form is very rare.

In this article we report a case of spinal epidural lipomatosis with the presenting complaint of lumbar radiculopathy. We also reviewed the previously published cases and discussed the predominant features of these cases. Anahtar Kelimeler : Epidural lipomatosis, radiculopathy, corticosteroid, laminectomy
