TL;DR: A patient with Pai syndrome who was followed up from birth up to the age of 8 years is reported, and she showed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and her nasal airway was gradually obstructed by a residual intranasal polyp.
Abstract: Pai syndrome is a rare congenital disorder, and there are few reports about the long-term prognosis of mental development and surgical results. Here, we report a patient with Pai syndrome who was followed up from birth up to the age of 8 years. Additionally, we review 32 articles and discuss the long-term prognosis of Pai syndrome. In our case, an intracranial lipoma grew a little, but neither epilepsy nor intellectual disabilities occurred. However, she showed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Furthermore, her nasal airway was gradually obstructed by a residual intranasal polyp.

TL;DR: In this patient, surgical resection was not necessary, and regular follow-up was recommended, and a diagnosis of pericallosal curvilinear lipoma was made.
Abstract: A 27-year-old woman presented to the neurosurgery department with a history of an incidental finding of an intracranial lesion. Neurologic examination was unremarkable. Cranial MRI revealed an interhemispheric lipoma over the corpus callosum (figure). A diagnosis of pericallosal curvilinear lipoma was made. Intracranial lipoma is a rare congenital malformation.1 Pericallosal region is the most common location of intracranial lipomas. Pericallosal lipoma can be divided into 2 morphologic subtypes: tubulonodular and curvilinear.2 The latter is mostly asymptomatic, occasionally presenting with seizures and headache, and has a low incidence of other accompanying anomalies. In this patient, surgical resection was not necessary, and regular follow-up was recommended.
TL;DR: A case of tectal lipoma, with subsequent severe hydrocephalus and absence of septum pellucidum which was initially misinterpreted as a form of holoprosencephaly, due to inadequate attention to T1-weighted images is presented.
Abstract: Intracranial lipoma is a relatively rare benign lesion. Many are incidental findings; however, some others may present with headache, hydrocephalus or other neurological symptoms; thus, correct diagnosis of this condition is important. These lesions are of high signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI and especially those close to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces, can easily be overlooked in the background of high signal intensity of CSF. Here, we present a case of tectal lipoma, with subsequent severe hydrocephalus and absence of septum pellucidum which was initially misinterpreted as a form of holoprosencephaly, due to inadequate attention to T1-weighted images.
