Abstract (2. Language):
Intracranial lipomas are rare and usually asymptomatic. However, they may be symptomatic according to their localization. In this article, we aimed to report a case who presented with headache and diagnosed with intracrani-al lipoma which was detected at computed tomography (CT) and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Intracranial lipomas which are difficult treat by surgery should be diagnosed easily with CT densitometry and MRI without invasive procedure. Also, CT and MRI may be helpful in determining treatment choice and following up the lesion.

Abstract (Original Language):
İntrakranial lipomlar nadir görülür ve genellikle asemptoma-tiktir. Bununla beraber lokalizasyonuna göre klinik belirti verebilirler. Bu yazıda baş ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran ve bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) tespit edilerek manyetik rezo-nans görüntüleme (MRG) ile tanısı teyit edilen intrakraniyal lipom vakasını sunmayı amaçladık. BT dansitometrik değer-lendirme ve MRG inceleme ile invaziv bir işlem uygulanma-dan cerrahi tedavisi zor olan intrakranial lipomların tanısı kolaylıkla konulabilir. BT ve MRG tedavinin belirlenmesi ile lezyonun takibinde de kolaylık sağlamaktadır.
