[Lipoma of the corpus callosum as a constituent of Goldenhar syndrome]

Abstract

A newborn infant with clinical signs of the Goldenhar-syndrome was found to have a lipoma of the corpus callosum documented both by cranial sonography and computerized tomography. The association of lipoma of the corpus callosum and Goldenhar-syndrome is discussed and in view of the recent literature, it is concluded that lipoma of the corpus callosum like other recently observed intracranial lesions is indeed an additional manifestation within the spectrum of the Goldenhar-syndrome.
