Fetal Pericallosal Lipoma: US and MR Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of fetal pericallosal lipoma occurring at the anterior interhemispheric fissure and associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. During targeted prenatal ultrasonography at 26 weeks' gestation, the lesion was seen as a highly echogenic mass. MR imaging performed at 35 weeks' gestation and during the postnatal period revealed a pericallosal fatty mass and agenesis of the corpus callosum.

Prenatal diagnosis and postnatal follow-up of pericallosal lipoma: report of seven new cases.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pericallosal lipomas are rare tumors. Few reports have included their imaging characteristics. Furthermore, little is known about their evolutive course. Our purpose was to describe the imaging features of seven cases of pericallosal lipoma diagnosed in utero and followed up after birth. METHODS We reviewed seven cases of pericallosal lipoma diagnosed by obstetric sonog...
متن کاملMR imaging of pericallosal lipoma.
Early pathologic reports of corpus callosal lipoma described a consistent relationship between the lipoma and the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, particularly when the lipoma is not associated with corpus callosal agenesis. MR imaging, especially T1-weighted sagittal acquisitions, exquisitely demonstrated this anatomic relationship in three relatively asymptomatic patients. Therefore, in...

Pericallosal lipomas, also known as lipomas of the corpus callosum, are well described in the radiologic literature. Formerly thought to be rare congenital tumors, they have been identified with more frequency since the advent of CT and MR imaging. Pericallosal lipomas are the most common type of intracranial lipoma (1-4]. With lesser frequency, subarachnoid lipomas are noted in other locations...

Presentation in our case does not correspond to existing classification of pericallosal lipoma and as it is very rare, we are presenting it as a case report. Intracranial lipoma ...
