TL;DR: This work describes three patients with ENS, all of whom had in addition to the characteristic features of ENS intracranial and/or intraspinal lipomas, a typical finding of CNS lipoma, which caused a significant spastic movement disorder.
Abstract: Epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS) is a congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by linear nevus with a significant involvement of the nervous, ophthalmological and skeletal systems. Clinical manifestations of ENS include neurological features such as mental retardation, seizures, and movement disorders which are caused by a wide range of neuropathological lesions. We describe three patients with ENS, all of whom had in addition to the characteristic features of ENS intracranial and/or intraspinal lipomas. In one patient the lipoma extended from the thoracal vertebra 8 to the 4th ventricle; in the second patient it was localized on T9, and in the third patient an intracranial lipoma was located at the right cerebellopontine angle. The intraspinal lipomas caused a significant spastic movement disorder. So far, CNS lipomas have not been described as typical neuropathological findings in ENS. The differential diagnosis to encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis with the typical finding of CNS lipoma is discussed.

TL;DR: A 7-year-old Japanese boy with an intracranial lipoma of the quadrigeminal region and complex partial seizures is reported, and his seizures were controlled with carbamazepine.
Abstract: A 7-year-old Japanese boy with an intracranial lipoma of the quadrigeminal region and complex partial seizures is reported. Among 28 published patients with lipoma originating in the quadrigeminal plate and ambient cistern, 6 suffered from seizures and 3 were mentally retarded. Our patient's seizures were controlled with carbamazepine.

TL;DR: A 65-year-old male presented with a rare lipoma in the quadrigeminal cistern manifesting as left abducens nerve paresis which was effectively treated by total extirpation.
Abstract: A 65-year-old male presented with a rare lipoma in the quadrigeminal cistern manifesting as left abducens nerve paresis which was effectively treated by total extirpation. The usual neurological symptoms of lipoma in the quadrigeminal cistern are intracranial hypertension and hydrocephalus which can be successfully treated by shunt operation. Direct surgery is indicated when the symptoms are ascribed to localized symptoms, but tumor removal should be partial if the superior cerebellar arteries are involved.

TL;DR: An extremely rare case of intracranial lipoma that was associated with subcutaneous lipoma situated on the anterior fontanelle and also the exact extent of the lesion is reported.
Abstract: We report an extremely rare case of intracranial lipoma that was associated with subcutaneous lipoma situated on the anterior fontanelle. During ultrasonographic examination of the subcutaneous lesion, intracranial lipoma was incidentally diagnosed. Computed tomography revealed corpus callosum agenesis, interhemispheric lipoma extending into the choroid plexus. Magnetic resonance imaging demontrated the subcutaneous lipoma and also the exact extent of the lesion. The pathogenesis of lipomas is discussed and the literature is reviewed.
