lipoma/headache

We describe the case of a patient with symptomatic strictly unilateral paroxysmal headache mimicking cluster headache related to an ipsilateral forehead lipoma. Interestingly, immediately after the surgical excision of the lipoma pain attacks disappeared with no recurrence during a follow-up period

BACKGROUND Intracranial lipomas (ICL) are congenital malformations that are due to an anomalous differentiation of the primitive meninges. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to determine the most frequent symptoms related to ICL in the paediatric age, as well as to evaluate whether they are

Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare congenital condition, often asymptomatic, but which may present as epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, or headaches. This paper reviews the condition and reports the only two cases which are known to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London. The

A case of corpus callosum lipoma with presumptive diagnosis is presented. Review of the literature disclosed 84 cases with such diagnoses. Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare intracranial lesion, perhaps congenital and often asymptomatic, but can present with seizure disorder, headache, mental

Three children with complete or partial callosal aplasia and intracranial lipoma in the corpus callosum region were investigated. Two lipomas were tubulonodular; one replaced the entire corpus callosum structure. Accompanying anomalies affected the cingulate gyrus, septum pellucidum, and choroid

The lipoma of the corpus callosum is a very rare benign congenital lesion, which can be isolated or associated with varying degrees of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. It can be asymptomatic or revealed by nonspecific signs such as epileptic seizures, headache, neurological deficit or dementia.

OBJECTIVE Intracranial lipomas are rare congenital malformations. The most common location of intracranial lipoma is the midline cerebral structures. The most frequently seen symptoms are headaches, seizures, psychomotor retardation and cranial nerve deficits. This study aimed to evaluate the

A 13-year-old male child was evaluated for headache and visual deterioration; he underwent routine MRI imaging which revealed a large craniopharyngeal canal, divided by an abnormal bony septum giving a bipartite appearance of the canal, with a lipoma and cephalocele on either side of the septum. The

Spindle cell lipoma of the suprasellar region has not been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 4-year-old male with a suprasellar spindle cell lipoma. The patient presented with headaches and visual disturbances. An imaging study revealed a 4 to 5-mm suprasellar mass that was initially
