Abstract

A 7-year-old Japanese boy with an intracranial lipoma of the quadrigeminal region and complex partial seizures is reported. Among 28 published patients with lipoma originating in the quadrigeminal plate and ambient cistern, 6 suffered from seizures and 3 were mentally retarded. Our patient's seizures were controlled with carbamazepine.
