TL;DR: A case of neonatal congenital triventricular hydrocephalus due to a small intracranial lipoma in the quadrigeminal plate cistern is reported.
Abstract: A case of neonatal congenital triventricular hydrocephalus due to a small intracranial lipoma in the quadrigeminal plate cistern is reported The patient was treated by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt The mechanism of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by the intracranial lipoma is discussed

TL;DR: The lipomatous lesion surrounded the internal carotid artery and trigeminal nerve and extended extracranially into the infratemporal region through a smoothly dilated foramen ovale.
Abstract: We present CT and MR features of a large intracranial lipoma located in the left sphenocavernosal region in a patient with a history of spinal intradural lipoma excision. The lipomatous lesion surrounded the internal carotid artery and trigeminal nerve and extended extracranially into the infratemporal region through a smoothly dilated foramen ovale.

TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of ECCL having a large temporal exostosis, and the objective of this article is to better understand the phenotypic spectrum of this syndrome whose molecular basis is still unknown.
Abstract: Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), also known as Haberland syndrome, is a rare syndrome with unknown etiology. The syndrome is characterized by a triad of unique cutaneous, ocular, and central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. The cutaneous hallmark, nevus psiloliparus (NP), along with overlying alopecia is a constant feature. Choristoma of the eyelid is the most common ocular manifestation, while intracranial lipoma is the predominant CNS finding. Genetic counseling is required to emphasize that the disorder, although congenital, is not inheritable. We present a 21-year-old female with cutaneous, ocular, and CNS features satisfying the diagnostic criteria for ECCL. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ECCL having a large temporal exostosis. The objective of this article is to better understand the phenotypic spectrum of this syndrome whose molecular basis is still unknown.

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: In this paper, the case of a multiple intracranial lipoma in a 47 year-old patient presenting with headache dizziness and quadrantanopsia was reported, and MR imaging revealed the presence of two lipomas, one located within the quadrigeminal cistern and the other in the calcarine fissure.
Abstract: We report the case of a multiple intracranial lipoma in a 47 year-old patient presenting with headache dizziness and quadrantanopsia. MR imaging revealed the presence of 2 lipomas, one located within the quadrigeminal cistern and the other in the calcarine fissure. To our knowledge, this combination of this rare lesion has not been yet described. We review the current literature.
