Intracranial Lipomas
SSK Okmeydanı Eğitim Hastanesi, Nöroşirürji Kliniği, İstanbul
Intracranial lipomas are seen rarely and are generally asymptomatic. They are
generally localised on or near the midline structures of the cerebrum. Thanks to
development of radiological imaging tools, intracranial lipomas can be
diagnosed easily and the need for surgical management has decreased.We reviewed eight intracranial lipoma cases seen in our clinic in the last two years retrospectively and analysed the pathological, radiological, clinical features. We discuss the treatment approaches of intracranial lipomas.
