Abstract: A lipoma is regarded as the commonest benign mesenchymal tumor
of the body and is ubiquitous in distribution. Intracranial lipomas are
rare and account for a mere 0.1% of all primary brain tumors. The
intracranial lipomas usually remain asymptomatic unless they are large
enough to produce symptoms due to mass effect. Intracranial lipomas are
usually asymptomatic and are usually found incidentally. Intracranial
lipomas are located in the midline areas. CT and MRI are usually
sufficient for the diagnosis of lipomas. We report a case of a 56-year-
old male who came to us with vertigo, multiple episodes of vomiting,
visual disturbances for 5 years and diagnosed as quadrigeminal plate
lipoma. We describe MRI findings with a brief review of the literature.
