Nondysraphic intramedullary lipomas of the spinal cord are rare, and there are currently no reports of their observation in utero. Here, we present the sonographic (US) findings in such a case. Four intraspinal hyperechoic masses were observed on US on the dorsal aspect of the fetal spine in a 30-year-old woman at 30 weeks' gestation. Findings were consistent with those of prenatal MRI and were confirmed on autopsy after induced abortion. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 46:278-281, 2018.

Objective: Intramedullary spinal cord lipomas without spinal dysraphism are rare. Although they are benign tumors, they can cause significant neurological deficits. Their tight adherence to the spinal cord presents a challenge for resection.

Introduction: Intramedullary nondysraphic spinal lipomas are extremely rare among primary spinal cord tumors. These patients present with nonspecific sensory symptoms followed by deterioration of motor symptoms. As the safety margins for neurological preservation are thin, meticulously locating the extent of the tumor and choosing the resection modalities is essential.
