✓ Patients with Cushing's syndrome may develop spinal epidural lipomatosis, an abnormal accumulation of fat in the spinal epidural space. This accumulation of fat may cause compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina with resulting neurological deficit. Two cases of symptomatic spinal lipomatosis are reported in cardiac transplant patients receiving chronic corticosteroid treatment. The literature is reviewed, and diagnostic and therapeutic considerations are discussed.

We present a patient with prostate cancer with vertebral metastases who developed spastic paraparesis secondary to spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) after receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We propose a link between ADT, metastatic prostate cancer and SEL.
