Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Intracranial lipomas are rare, benign lesions with no neoplastic origin. Most affected patients are asymptomatic and are typically pediatric or young adults. We describe a case of a child with a quadrigeminal plate lipoma presenting with seizures and hydrocephalus.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 6-year-old boy presented with dysarthria, spasticity, gait disturbances, headaches, and seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lipomatous lesion in the quadrigeminal cistern with ventriculomegaly. An endoscopic third ventriculocisternostomy was performed for obstructive hydrocephalus, and a biopsy confirmed a lipoma. Over 6 years of follow-up, the patient's seizures remained controlled, and the lesion remained stable.
CONCLUSION: Conservative management with symptomatic control is recommended, given the typically benign progression of lipomas. Seizures are generally well managed with antiepileptic medications. Surgical resection should be reserved for cases where expansive lesions cause significant symptoms or hydrocephalus.
