A case of lipomas of the right sylvian fissure and cisterna velum interpositum in a 22-year-old man is reported. The patient's chief complaint was generalized clonic convulsions. The neurological examination was normal. Computed tomography scan demonstrated low density masses in the right sylvian fissure and cisterna velum interpositum. Right carotid angiogram showed the dilated pre-central artery penetrating into the tumor and hypervascularity in the sylvian fissure. These masses were thought to be lipomas and no operation was performed.
The authors review previously reported cases and discuss the neuroradiological findings and surgical indications of intracranial lipomas.
