Fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of pericallosal artery. A sign of lipoma of corpus callosum

Acta Radiol Suppl. 1976:347:71-6. doi: 10.1177/0284185175016s34710.

Abstract

Two cases of lipoma of the corpus callosum with aneurysmal dilatation of the pericallosal artery are reported. This appears to be a reliable sign of lipoma of the corpus callosum. Our cases and the literature reveal that 19 of 22 cases with illustrations of carotid angiography have demonstrated such an aneurysmal dilatation.
