title: Posterior pericallosal lipoma extending through the interhemispheric fissure into the scalp via the anterior fontanelle.
abstract: We report an unusual pericallosal lipoma presenting as scalp mass at birth. The patient had no obvious neurological deficit, but CT and MRI revealed a striking lipoma extending extracranially into the scalp from the interhemispheric fissure via the anterior fontanelle. The corpus callosum was distorted but not dysplastic.
