Abstract
To report the antenatal pictures of a fetus with multiple intracranial lipomas. A 36-year-old primigravida, 33 weeks of gestation, was referred to our ultrasound laboratory due to sonographic suspicion of an intracranial hemorrhage. At 2D and 3D ultrasound imaging, three separated round-shaped hyperechoic intracranial masses compatible with multiple lipomas were documented. Absence of corpus callosum was associated. Sonographic findings were confirmed by antenatal and postnatal MRI. Multiple intracranial lipomas in a fetus with absent corpus callosum have been infrequently described. Prognostic implications remain uncertain. 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
