Giant Quadrigeminal Cistern Lipoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
Lipoma gigante de cisterna quadrigeminal: Relato de caso e revisão da literatura
Abstract
We report the case of a giant lipoma of the quadrigeminal cistern in a 30-year-old female patient with headache, nausea, vomiting, and phono and photophobia. Despite the large size of the tumor, conservative treatment was chosen. Intracranial lipomas are rare benign tumors commonly associated with congenital anomalies, and their origin is related to an incorrect embryonic development. The diagnosis is made mainly by cranial computed tomographyand magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment of lipoma can be surgical or conservative, and there is no single treatment for the different patients' cases.
Resumo
Relatamos o caso de um lipoma gigante de cisterna quadrigeminal em uma paciente de 30 anos, do sexo feminino, com cefaleia, náusea, fono e fotofobia, no qual se optou pelo tratamento conservador. Os lipomas intracranianos são tumores benignos raros comumente associados a anomalias congênitas, e sua origem relaciona-se ao mau desenvolvimento embrionário. A investigação diagnóstica é feita predominantemente através da tomografia computadorizada e ressonância nuclear magnética do crânio, e não existe um tratamento único para os diferentes quadros dos pacientes.
