Abstract: | A human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient receiving indinavir therapy developed a slowly progressive paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with epidural lipomatosis. On discontinuing indinavir, symptoms gradually remitted. Although indinavir, a protease inhibitor, is known to cause abnormal fat accumulation, to the best of our knowledge this is the first report of epidural lipomatosis. |
