Abstract

Spinal epidermoid cysts are extremely rare benign tumors and can be congenital or acquired. Acquired spinal epidermoid cysts are found in the lumbosacral region. To our knowledge, no case of epidermoid cyst related to spinal cord stimulator insertion has yet been reported. We report the MRI findings of a rare case of thoracic intradural epidermoid cyst acquired after spinal cord stimulator insertion in a 50-year-old female.

표피양 낭종은 척수에 매우 드물게 발생하는 양성 병변이다. 선천적 또는 후천적으로 생길 수 있는데, 후천적 표피양 낭종은 주로 요천추부 높이에서 발생한다. 척수 자극기 삽입과 관련하여 표피양 낭종이 생긴 증례는 보고된 바 없다. 저자들은 척수 자극기 삽입술을 받았던 50세 여자 환자에서 표피양 낭종이 척수 자극기 끝의 위치와 인접한 흉추부 경막 내에 발생한 드문 증례를 경험하였기에 MRI 소견 및 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
