Abstract

An infant, 26 weeks gestation, had a stormy neonatal course; at 10 hours of age, initial cranial ultrasound apparently demonstrated a left subependymal hemorrhage placed somewhat medially with possible extension into the lateral ventricle. These ultrasound findings were present up to and including a study on the seventeenth day of life. At 7 months of age, repeat ultrasound once again demonstrated supposed hemorrhage which involved both choroid plexuses and the third ventricle or basilar cisterns. Computed tomography revealed a lipoma of the corpus callosum with calcifications. This patient is one of the youngest reported in the literature with this tumor.
