ABSTRACT
Lipomatosis of interatrial septum is a rare benign disorder characterized by fat accumulation into interatrial septum. It may cause atrial arrhythmias and hemodynamic complications. For this reason, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of other cardiac masses. We report the typical case of lipomatosis of interatrial septum and atrial flutter.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare syndrome defined by postural headache, associated with a low cerebrospinal fluid pressure, without history of previous dural trauma or invasive treatment on rachis. We reported a case of a patient with postural headache caused by SIH identified by magnetic resonance images and treated with saline solution infusion with complete remission of symptoms.
