Pericallosal lipoma in children: a rare case

Description

An 8-year-old developmentally normal boy was brought to emergency following a fall from a bicycle on the road. He could not remember how he fell and regained consciousness in about 5 min. He had an abrasion on the right forearm and cheek. On neurological examination, he was fully conscious and alert with an orientation to time, place and person. There was no neurological deficit at the time of presentation in the emergency ward. The child was kept under observation. Two hours later, he experienced one episode of generalised tonic–clonic seizure which lasted for 3 min. Seizures were managed as per standard protocol. CT scan of the brain was done (figure 1), which showed a homogeneously hypodense midline lesion with a mean HU of –109 (fat) with bilateral ventricular and anterior subarachnoid extensions. A peripheral rim of calcification was evident.
