Abstract
A 37-year-old Turkish woman with an intracranial lipoma of the quadrigeminal region is reported. Intracranial lipomas are extremely uncommon condition and generally occur in the midline areas, with an incidence of less than 0.1% of all intracranial tumours. Most lipomas were incidentally detected by autopsy or computed tomography (CT). The autopsy incidence of intracranial lipoma is 0.08% to 0.46%, while the incidence of CT finding is no more than 0.03% to 0.06%. Most intracranial lipomas are found incidentally during neuroradiological investigations. CT and MR examination usually lead to the diagnosis, because of the very low attenuation values of lipomas on CT and the short T1 and T2 on MR.We describe the findings of imaging studies, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, along with a brief review of the literature.
