Lipoma of the Corpus callosum: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Intracranial lipomas account for less than 1% of all brain tumors. Corpus callosum lipoma (CCL) is a rare finding and up until now, documented cases are around 200 patients. These lipomas remain mostly asymptomatic, but when symptoms appear, they present through headache, seizure, dementia and in some cases, rather uncommon neurological disorders such as mirror writing. Fourteen years old girl with history of 8 years headache and recent development of vertigo, extremities trembling and drop attack was referred to neurologist and brain imaging confirmed CCL. Herein, we report another rare case of CCL, with common and uncommon symptoms of latter tumor in detail; in addition to reviewing the previous 80 years case reports aiming to achieve comprehensive perception from CCL.
