“…The association between hypogenesis and agenesis of the corpus callosum is common, occurring in 90% in the anterior lipoma and 30% in the posterior lipoma 1,8 . Most lipomas are asymptomatic, but clinically it may be associated with seizures, long-standing headaches as presented in the above case, mental and motor disorders, epilepsy and cerebral palsy are usually associated with nerve tissue involvement 1,5,8,9,10,16,17 , of which the most common is epilepsy, usually occurs before age 15, can also cause obstructive hydrocephalus 5,8 . These symptoms are more frequent in women at a ratio of 1.25: 1 and in the pediatric age 70% appear in women 5,10 .…”

Introducción: El lipoma intracraneal es una malformación congénita muy rara, que representa menos del 0,1% de los tumores intracraneales; son causadas por la persistencia anormal de un foco de meninges primitivas, que de una forma poco clara hasta el momento, se induce a diferenciarse en adipocitos. Presentación del caso: Este artículo reporta el caso de una mujer de 27 años que consultó al servicio de urgencias de un Hospital Universitario de Colombia por clínica de cefalea de larga evolución asociada a un episodio tónico clónico generalizado. En la exploración neurológica no presento signos de focalización o alteraciones, la tomografía computarizada (TC) evidenció una lesión hipodensa en la región interhemisférica, sospechando lipoma del cuerpo calloso (CC), que fue confirmado por espectroscopia de resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN). Teniendo en cuenta la ubicación de la lesión y posible patología, se inició tratamiento médico, se observó que la paciente permaneció estable durante los 6 meses de control. A continuación se realiza, la revisión de la literatura sobre Lipoma del cuerpo calloso. Conclusiones: El lipoma del cuerpo calloso es una enfermedad benigna rara, cuyo manejo quirúrgico es infrecuente y el control farmacológico es favorable, como se describe en este caso de una mujer de 27 años diagnosticada con esta patología.

“…As highly rare fat‐containing lesions, intracranial lipomas comprise 0.1%–0.5% of all primary brain tumors. As the most typical variation of all intracranial lipomas (range: 40%–50%), the CC lipoma is associated with different levels of CC dysgenesis and generally remains asymptomatic 31 . The CC lipoma is usually visible in the third trimester as an echogenic lesion on US, with a low T2 signal on MRI (due to chemical shift artifact) but without a typical high T1 signal.…”

The corpus callosum (CC) is the major interhemispheric commissure and its abnormalities include agenesis, hypoplasia, and hyperplasia. The CC anomalies are typically related to other central nervous system (CNS) or extra-CNS malformations.The antenatal diagnosis of complete CC agenesis is easy after mid-trimester by ultrasound (US) even in the axial plane. The non-visualization of cavum septum pellucidum and colpocephaly are critical signs in the axial view. More subtle findings (i.e., hypoplasia and partial agenesis) might also be recognized antenatally. In this review, the focus was given on the prenatal diagnosis of CC abnormalities in US and magnetic resonance imaging.

“…Corpus callosal lipoma can be classified into two types tubulonodular and curvilinear due to different imaging morphologies and associated brain anomalies. [2][3][4] The tubulonodular is anteriorly situated and round or cylindrical measuring 2 cm or more, mostly associated with corpus callosum dysgenesis and/or fronto-facial anomalies and with choroid plexus/lateral ventricles extension. Curvilinear types are thin, elongated, less…”

Intracranial lipomas are very rare, slow-growing, and benign tumors usually asymptomatic but occasionally associated with symptoms like a seizure. This rare occurrence is usually diagnosed incidentally and magnetic resonance imaging is the choice of investigation and diagnosis can be confirmed with fat suppression sequences. Management of corpus callosal lipoma is mainly conservative management with surgery not indicated due to the location and its peripheral structures. Managing seizure is the mainstay of the treatment. We present a case of incidentally diagnosed tubulonodular corpus callosal lipoma after having an event of a fall injury.
