title: [Quadrigeminal cistern and calcarine fissure lipoma: case report and review of the literature].
abstract: We report the case of a multiple intracranial lipoma in a 47 year-old patient presenting with headache dizziness and quadrantanopsia. MR imaging revealed the presence of 2 lipomas, one located within the quadrigeminal cistern and the other in the calcarine fissure. To our knowledge, this combination of this rare lesion has not been yet described. We review the current literature.
