Full Abstract

The authors report two rare cases of intracranial lipomas recognized in CT of the head. The tumours were situated in the corpus callosum in one case, and in the posterior fossa in the other case. Both cases were thought unsuitable for surgical intervention, and one of the patients was given only anticonvulsant treatment.
