It can be congenital or acquired. They usually present in 2nd or 3rd decade of life in adults. It may or may not associated with spinal dysraphism. It is asymptomatic in most cases, manifest acutely if it ruptures.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Long segment involvement of spinal intramedullary tumor in adult without the history of trauma makes this case unique. Fat suppression imaging helps to distinguish adipose tissue from lesions causing hematomyelia in patients presented with intramedullary hyperintensity in both T1 &amp; T2 sequences of MRI spine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report here a rare case of 30 years old male who presented to us with sudden urinary retention followed by rapidly progressive quadriparesis and paresthesia in his right arm. In MRI, spinal intramedullary tumor was noted from medulla till D5 vertebra. We performed subtotal excision of tumor and sample sent for histopathology which proved it to be intramedullary spinal dermoid cyst.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Long segment involvement of spinal intramedullary dermoid cyst in adult without history of trauma makes this case different. Fat suppression imaging must be done in patients with intramedullary hyperintensity in both T1 and T2 sequences of MRI spine.
