Lumbar spinal stenosis exacerbated by spinal epidural lipomatosis: a case report

This case suggests that SEL may trigger or unmask clinical symptoms of degenerative LSS and highlights distinct recovery trajectory between focal degenerative stenosis and diffuse epidural fat-related compression. SNRB-guided staged minimally invasive decompression enabled precise level selection and favorable functional outcomes, underscoring its value in managing multilevel lumbar pathology complicated by SEL.

Abstract

This case suggests that SEL may trigger or unmask clinical symptoms of degenerative LSS and highlights distinct recovery trajectory between focal degenerative stenosis and diffuse epidural fat-related compression. SNRB-guided staged minimally invasive decompression enabled precise level selection and favorable functional outcomes, underscoring its value in managing multilevel lumbar pathology complicated by SEL.
