SUMMARY -The agenesis and lipoma of the corpus callosum is a very rare association. We report the case of a 18-years old woman with rare epileptic seizures since the age of 6 years, normal neurological examination, as well as normal electroencephalogram. The brain computed tomography scanning and the magnetic resonance showed the lipoma and the agenesis of the corpus callosum.KEY WORDS: corpus callosum, lipoma, agenesis. Agenesia e lipoma de corpo caloso: relato de casoRESUMO -A agenesia e lipoma do corpo caloso é uma associação muito rara. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 18 anos com raras crises epilépticas desde os 6 anos de idade, exame neurológico normal, assim como eletrencefalograma normal. A tomografia computadorizada de crânio e a ressonância magnética mostraram o lipoma e a agenesia de corpo caloso.PALAVRAS CHAVES: corpo caloso, lipoma, agenesia. Corpus callosal lipoma (CCL) is REPORT OF CASEJR, a 18-year-old woman was referred for investigation of epileptic seizures. She had a history of tonicclonic generalized seizures since 6 years of age. Their seizures lasts no longer than a few minutes, occurred up to 4 per year, mainly during the sleep and complaint of headache as the only postictal change. Pregnancy and delivery were normal, as was the child's early development. The antenatal history had been unremarkable. Physical and neurological examination were normal. Phenobarbital monotherapy was started with 100 mg/day. A conventional EEG performed for 30 min was normal during the awake and sleep state. CT as well as the MR showed the lipoma and the agenesis of CC. The CT scans were characterized by regular low density image filling the place of the CC (lipoma) an bordered on each side by two shell-like calcifications. The MR was carried out with Tl and T2 weighted images and showed the following findings: (a) indirect signs of callosal *Head of the EEG Sector, Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM);

Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare but well-de· scribed entity in the radiologic and neurosurgical literature. It is Jess well-appreciated that choroid plexus lipomas are associated lesions. Seven cases of corpus callosal lipomas diagnosed with ultrasound in the neo· natal period have been reported. We report its identification in utero, associated with choroid plexus lipomas and agenesis of the corpus callosum. CASE REPORTSCase 1 A 20-year-old (gravida 1 para 0) white female was referred at 37 5 weeks gestation with a question of fetal hydro~ cephalus noted on a study done to evaluate fetal presentation. An outside ultrasound had been done at 16 weeks to establish dates. This was unavailable for comparison.There was a single fetus in a breech position. Size was con• sistent with dates. The head circumference was at the 90th percentile. The trigone and occipital horns of the lateral ventricles were enlarged. The temporal and frontal horns rapidly returned to normal size, suggesting a dysplastic enlargement or colpocephaly. A brightly echogenic mass was present in the area of the anterior genu of the corpus callosum. The perical• losal and callosal marginal arteries were beating within the Received December 20, 1988, mass and not displaced by it. Symmetric masses were also present along the anterior portion of the lateral ventricle cho~ roid plexus. These were direct extensions from the central mass. The corpus callosum was absent. The medial sulci had a radial arrangement posterior to the central mass. The frontal horns were widely spaced (Fig. 1). These findings are typical for a lipoma of the corpus callosum with associated choroid plexus lipomas and agenesis of the corpus callosum. No other abnormalities were identified.The fetus remained breech and was delivered by cesarean section at term. The Apgar scores were 3 and 8 with normal umbilical cord gases. The neurologic examination was normal. The head circumference was at the 90%. but had a normal growth rate on follow -up evaluation. The neonatal head ultra· sound and computed tomography (CT) confirmed the findings with two additional points. There was a small lipoma in the left sylvian fissure not identified in utero. The CT showed extensive calcifications around the margin of the central mass. These were not visualized in utero and were very difficult to see on the neonatal ultrasound (Fig. 2).Case 2 An ultrasound examination was performed on a 33-year·old (gravida 3, para 1, abortus 1) white female for newly diagnosed gestational diabetes at 35 weeks gestation. A prior study had been done at 11 weeks for dating and question of viability. The intracranial contents on review, including videotape, were normal.The fetus was in a deep vertex lie with a calculated weight greater than the 90th percentile. A hyperechoic mass was identified in the anterior interhemispheric fissure typical for a lipoma (Fig. 3). Because of body habitus and fetal lie, a detailed intracranial evaluation was difficult to perform. The ventricles were normal in size. The corpus ...
