ABSTRACT

Los lipomas del cuerpo calloso representan hasta el 5% de las malformaciones, tumorales o no, del cuerpo calloso. Actualmente son considerados malformaciones congénitas en lugar de verdaderas neoplasias. La mayoría son sintomáticos, pero algunos se asocian a síntomas neurológicos inespecíficos como retraso psicomotor, cefalea, epilepsia y parálisis cerebral. Se expone el caso de un varón de 42 años que fallece por broncoaspiración alimentaria secundaria a crisis convulsiva. El estudio neuropatológico puso de manifiesto dos lipomas situados en la rodilla del cuerpo calloso. Se destaca la necesidad de realizar tratamiento antiepiléptico en los lipomas del cuerpo calloso que se manifiestan clínicamente en forma de crisis comiciales (AU)


Lipomas of the corpus callosum make up approximately 5% of the tumours of the corpus callosum. Nowadays, they are considered congenital malformations rather than true neoplasms. They are usually asymptomatic; however they are sometimes associated with unspecific neurological symptoms such as psychomotor retardation, headache, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. A case is presented of a 42-year-old man who died due to alimentary aspiration following a seizure. Neuropathological study showed two lipomas located in the splenium of the corpus callosum. Also, we emphasise the importance of the anti-epileptic treatment in the corpus callosum lipomas which are associated with epilepsy (AU)
