title: Cerebral intraventricular lipoma and sudden death.
abstract: A lipoma in the left lateral cerebral ventricle of a 73-year-old male is reported. This rather infrequently occurring lesion was an incidental finding in the patient's postmortem examination and probably accounted for the acute hydrocephalus that lead to his sudden death.
