Intracranial lipoma

Intracranial lipoma is an adipose tissue tumor caused by abnormal development of central nervous tissue embryos. Intracranial lipomas rarely cause clinical symptoms. They are mostly found in autopsies and are rarely seen in the clinic. Most of the lesions are located near the midline of the brain. The most common site is the corpus callosum, which accounts for about 50%, and a small part is located in the lower part of the third ventricle, the brain stem, the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, the quadrilateral area, the lateral ventricle, the lateral fissure and the bridge Cerebellar horn area.
