Abstract
Corpus callosum lipoma is a rare congenital intracranial malformation, often identified by chance in imaging studies. We report the case of a girl aged 4 with a history of two-year epilepsy, whose medication was discontinued. She presented in the emergency department with a febrile seizure episode. Brain CT scan revealed interhemispheric fatty-density mass with lobulated contours, with peripheral calcifications, and extension to the ventricles. Clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and a review of the literature made the diagnosis of tubulonodular lipoma of the corpus callosum.
