Intracranial lipomas are very rare lesions, which are probably congenital. Though they can occur anywhere in the intracranial space, a high proportion of cases tend to be ++located around the midline. They are usually asymptomatic. When symptoms do occur, they are frequently the result of co-existing general clinical conditions. Lipomas used to be reported mainly as incidental findings at autopsy, but advances in neuroimaging techniques have greatly improved the likelihood of their being discovered during life. Surgical extirpation is not necessary in the majority of patients, many of whom show remarkable clinical improvement following shunt procedures for obstructive hydrocephalus (when present) as well as vigorous treatment of co-existing conditions.
颅内脂肪瘤是非常罕见的病变，可能为先天性。虽然它们可发生于颅内空间的任何部位，但很大一部分病例倾向于位于中线周围。它们通常无症状。当出现症状时，往往是并存的一般临床情况所致。脂肪瘤过去主要是在尸检时作为偶然发现被报告，但神经影像学技术的进步大大提高了其在生前被发现的可能性。大多数患者无需手术切除，其中许多患者在针对梗阻性脑积水（如果存在）进行分流手术以及积极治疗并存疾病后，临床症状有显著改善。
