TL;DR: A case of an 11-year-old patient who underwent CT imaging for complications of sinusitis, and showed incidental development of an interhemispheric cyst in association with an intracranial lipoma over a 10-year interval is reported.

TL;DR: A 15 year old boy in whom a corpus callosum lipoma was detected during evaluation for head injury is presented, an incidental C.T. finding while investigating a case of head trauma.
Abstract: Corpus callosum lipomas are rare 50% of the corpus callosum lipomas were asymptomatic and were diagnosed during routine neuro-radiological investigations The present case is an incidental CT finding while investigating a case of head trauma In symptomatic cases 50% presented with fits, 20% with mental retardation, and 13% with hemi paresis The article presents a 15 year old boy in whom a corpus callosum lipoma was detected during evaluation for head injury Keywords: Intracranial lipoma, Incidental detection
TL;DR: An intracranial lipoma with an unusual location in the high parietal convexity along with massive calcification and no underlying arteriovenous malformation or congenital anomaly is reported.
Abstract: Intracranial lipoma is a rare disease entity accounting for about 0.1-0.5% of all intracranial tumors. More than 50% of intracranial lipomas are located in the callosal cisterns (1-3). Intracranial lipomas are also found in other locations including the quadrigeminal, superior cerebellar, suprasellar, interpeduncular, cerebellopontine angle, and Sylvian cisterns (4-6). An offmidline location of an intracranial lipoma is uncommon (3, 7, 8). We report an intracranial lipoma with an unusual location in the high parietal convexity along with massive calcification and no underlying arteriovenous malformation or congenital anomaly.
TL;DR: A patient presenting with complex partial seizures who was found to have right frontal cortical lipoma associated with cortical dysplasia is reported, which is a rare occurrence and only few cases have been reported in literature till date.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests improvement will occur regardless with conservative management independent of radiological changes to the lipoma, and at 6-week follow-up the patient’s pain had significantly improved however the complete IIIrd nerve palsy remained.
Abstract: Background Intracranial lipomas are rare, benign lesions, of congenital origin commonly found incidentally on imaging studies. Methods We describe a case of interpeduncular lipoma in an 18 year-old female presenting with a painful left complete oculomotor (IIIrd) nerve palsy and associated headache, which to the best of our knowledge has not been reported in an adult patient. Results Following eye patching and steroid treatment, at 6-week follow-up the patient's pain had significantly improved however the complete IIIrd nerve palsy remained. Conclusions Evidence suggests improvement will occur regardless with conservative management independent of radiological changes to the lipoma.
