[Lipoma of the corpus callosum in an infant with seizures].
A 3 month-old boy was admitted because of short convulsions commencing with a peculiar grin. A lipoma of the corpus callosum was diagnosed by X-ray of the skull, cranial ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance tomography. Following treatment with phenobarbital convulsions were not observed any longer. Surgical removal of the tumour was not indicated.
