The Corpus Callosum and Bilateral Choroid Plexus Lipoma: A Case Report
Abstract
Corpus callosum (CC) lipomas are a rare congenital malformation associated with varying grades of CC dysgenesis. The extension of such a lipoma into the lateral ventricle is rarer. CC lipomas are typically asymptomatic, but they may present epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, or simple headaches. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may aid in their diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of a 32-year-old female who was diagnosed with bilateral lateral ventricle choroid plexus and CC lipoma.
