Posterior pericallosal lipoma extending through the interhemispheric fissure into the scalp via the anterior fontanelle.
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.
