Curvilinear Pericallosal Lipoma – An Incidental Finding on CT Scan | Asian Journal of Medical Case R

Intracranial lipomas are exceedingly uncommon, making for about 0.1–0.5% of all primary brain tumours. Lipoma is caused by the embryonic meninx primitive's aberrant persistence and maldifferentiation. The most common location is the corpus callosum, which is divided into two forms based on imaging: tubulonodular and curvilinear. They are mostly asymptomatic, however epileptic seizures, which are the most frequent presenting complaint, can occur. There is typically no need for therapy, yet if there is a seizure, it must be managed medically. Intracranial lipoma has a favourable prognosis, especially in the case of pure corpus callosum lesions, but surgical intervention is restricted. Because intracranial lipomas are so uncommon, they are commonly missed on regular CT scans. It's possible that it was discovered by chance. This is important to remember when a patient appears with Mild headaches or fits are a common complaint. Its asymptomatic existence should be regarded as a warning sign of imminent illness. We discuss the case of an adult female with a tiny curvilinear Pericallosal Intracranial Lipoma discovered by chance on a CT scan of the brain during a trauma examination.
