Cases of Intracranial Lipoma

Cases of Quadrigeminal Cistern Intracranial Lipoma

MRI of pediatric intracranial lipoma
Axial (left), coronal (above right), and sagittal (below right) T1 MRI without contrast of the brain show an oval, uniformly high signal intensity lesion in the quadrigeminal cistern.

Cases of Pericallosal Intracranial Lipoma

CT and MRI of pediatric pericallosal intracranial lipoma
Axial CT without contrast of the brain (left) shows a large low density lesion in the midline posterior to the corpus callosum. Sagittal T1 MRI without contrast of the brain (right) show a large high signal intensity lesion inferior to the corpus callosum and superior to the cerebellum.
