Intracranial lipomas are very rare tumors, mostly being localized in the midline and often asymptomatic. We report on three children with intracranial lipomas (one with extension to the cervical spinal cord) diagnosed by CT and/or MR. All three had different symptoms and neurological signs. We summarize the case reports in the literature since the CT-era.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
