Abstract

Congenital intracranial lipomas are uncommon lesions, compose 0.1% to 0.5% of all cranial tumors. Interhemispheric fissure along the corpus callosum is most common site of intracranial lipomas. Recently, we experienced a case of pericallosal lipoma with partial agenesis of the corpus callosum at 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation which was diagnosed with prenatal ultrasound and postnatal mag­netic resonance imaging. Prenatal counseling for pericallosal lipoma is very cautious because it represent great clinical variability. We herein report the prenatal and postnatal images and outcomes of postnatal 2-year follow-up.
