TL;DR: A 5-month-old male child who presented to the centre with complaint of seizure had various cutaneous and ocular stigmatas of the disease in the form of patchy alopecia of the scalp, right-sided limbal dermoid and nodular skin tag near the lateral canthus of the right eye.
Abstract: Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) or Haberland syndrome is an uncommon sporadic neurocutaneous syndrome of unknown origin. The rarity and common ignorance of the condition often makes diagnosis difficult. The hallmark of this syndrome is the triad of skin, ocular and central nervous system (CNS) involvement and includes a long list of combination of conditions. Herein we report a case of a 5-month-old male child who presented to our centre with complaint of seizure. The patient had various cutaneous and ocular stigmatas of the disease in the form of patchy alopecia of the scalp, right-sided limbal dermoid and a nodular skin tag near the lateral canthus of the right eye. MRI of the brain was conducted which revealed intracranial lipoma and arachnoid cyst. The constellation of signs and symptoms along with the skin, ocular and CNS findings led to the diagnosis of ECCL.

TL;DR: A case of interhemispheric-pericallosal lipoma, associated with bilateral small lateral ventricle choroid plexuses and third ventricles lipoma as well as partial agenesis of splenium of corpus callosum is reported.
Abstract: We are reporting a case of interhemispheric-pericallosal lipoma, associated with bilateral small lateral ventricle choroid plexuses and third ventricle lipoma as well as partial agenesis of splenium of corpus callosum. Presentation in our case does not correspond to existing classification of pericallosal lipoma and as it is very rare, we are presenting it as a case report. Intracranial lipoma itself is a very rare anomaly and account for 0.06% to 0.46%. It represents a group of developmental abnormality of brain parenchyma that occur during embryogenesis, and it is located more frequently (about 50%) in the pericallosal cistern and may extend into one or both lateral ventricles. Pericallosal lipoma can also be associated with varying degree of callosal anomalies.
