Abstract
Intracranial lipomas (iLp) are very rare congenital malformative lesions, being less than 0.1% of intracranial tumours. They originate from abnormal differentiation of mesenchymal tissue of meninx primitiva. Most of cases are asymptomatic pericallosal lesions, often associated with other defects of differentiation of the midline structures. Association with hypogenesis/agenesis of corpus callosum is frequent, being present in 90% of anterior lipomas and in 30% of posterior lipomas. There is no indication to surgical treatment in pure corpus callosum lipoma lesions. Prognosis and symptoms depends on associated malformations. Here, we report a case of 15 year old girl who presented with new onset seizure episode and diagnosed with lipoma of corpus callosum.
