Abstract

Objective To investigate the MRI imaging characteristics of Corpus callosum complicating lipoma. Methods To retrospectively analyze MRI scan image data of 12 cases of Corpus callosum complicating lipoma from June 2010 to January 2016, and comprehensively analyze the MRI scan characteristics. Results The MRI findings of corpus callosum complicating lipoma were: 8 cases are flattened and separated bodies of both lateral centricle. Five cases are all or part of the corpus callosum agenesis, 3 cases are of low hippocampal development, resulting in significant expansion of the temporal horn side chamber, 9 cases are longitudinal front with three rooms communicated, and 3 cases are combined with septum absence. Conclusion Corpus callosum complicating lipoma has characteristic MRI performance, which is able to precisely determine regions of lesions and make a complement diagnosis.
