Abstract

We report the case of an unusually located intracranial lipoma in 2.5-year-old patient with simple partial epilepsy, which was being controlled with medication. The lipoma was located in the left sylvian fissure associated with focal cortical dysplasia of the surrounding cerebral cortex and abnormal vessels in the left sylvian fissure. Computed tomography, MRI and MR angiography findings of an unusually located intracranial lipoma leading to simple partial epilepsy were presented in this case report.
