Atypical Mixed Variant of Pericallosal Lipoma With Splenial Dysgenesis
Pericallosal lipomas are rare benign intracranial masses that arise during embryonic development, typically categorized into tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes. A mixed variant of both tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes is very rare. Patients with pericallosal lipomas may be asymptomatic or...

description | Pericallosal lipomas are rare benign intracranial masses that arise during embryonic development, typically categorized into tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes. A mixed variant of both tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes is very rare. Patients with pericallosal lipomas may be asymptomatic or may have different presentations, such as headaches. Conservative medical management is the mainstay of therapy for those without epileptic seizures or associated vascular malformations. We present a case of a mixed variant pericallosal lipoma in a patient with chronic headaches that were diagnosed using head computed tomography (CT) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). |
