“…However, other locations have been reported in the literature, such as the Sylvian fissure, prepontine cistern, Galen vein system, craniocervical junction, and cerebral convexity. [3,5,6,8,12,14,21,[27][28][29] As most ICLs are asymptomatic, they are incidentally discovered when assessing for a traumatic brain injury. Otherwise, clinical presentation is mostly related to location.…”

Background: Intracranial lipomas are a rare clinical entity. These lesions are frequently asymptomatic and originate in the pericallosal area. As they are fat-containing lesions which are intimately attached to the surrounding structures, surgery is not recommended. In some individual reports, subtotal resection is recommended to lessen complications. There have been no previous reports of corpus callosum lipoma (CCL) associated with limited dorsal myeloschizis (LDM). Case Description: We describe the case of a combination of CCL and bilateral choroid plexus lipoma discovered incidentally during the investigation of LDM in a 3-month-old male child. Given the asymptomatic behavior of the lipoma and the vascular elements of the pericallosal area, it was decided to monitor it regularly. Thus, the patient underwent surgery only for LDM. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and postoperative follow-up 1 year after showed good evolution. To the best of our knowledge, this association has never been described in the literature. Conclusion: This case suggests a possible developmental relationship between CCL and spinal dysraphism.
