Abstracts

The agenesis and lipoma of the corpus callosum is a very rare association. We report the case of a 18-years old woman with rare epileptic seizures since the age of 6 years, normal neurological examination, as well as normal electroencephalogram. The brain computed tomography scanning and the magnetic resonance showed the lipoma and the agenesis of the corpus callosum.

A agenesia e lipoma do corpo caloso é uma associação muito rara. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 18 anos com raras crises epilépticas desde os 6 anos de idade, exame neurológico normal, assim como eletrencefalograma normal. A tomografia computadorizada de crânio e a ressonância magnética mostraram o lipoma e a agenesia de corpo caloso.

SUMMARY

The agenesis and lipoma of the corpus callosum is a very rare association. We report the case of a 18-years old woman with rare epileptic seizures since the age of 6 years, normal neurological examination, as well as normal electroencephalogram. The brain computed tomography scanning and the magnetic resonance showed the lipoma and the agenesis of the corpus callosum.

Key words:corpus callosum, lipoma, agenesis.
