Abstract
Background: Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare contributor of low back pain (LBP) that can present with or without radicular symptoms.
Case presentation: A 51-year-old and 65-year-old male presented with chronic LBP to the Veterans Affairs chiropractic clinic for a trial of care. One had a moderate degree of lumbar spinal stenosis with known SEL and the other had severe. The patient with moderate grade stenosis responded favorably with weeks of transient benefit after visits and the patient with severe grade did not find benefit with care.
Summary: SEL is a condition that conservative care providers should be aware of as a potential cause of central canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. Chiropractic management of SEL has been scarcely reflected in the published literature, but may be a viable option for transient symptom management.
