Whilst pituitary adenomas are the most common cause of a sellar mass, there is a number of other neoplastic, infection, inflammatory,

developmental and vascular aetiologies that should by considered by the radiologist. Intracranial lipomas are rare developmental

lesions that occur because of abnormal differentiation of embryogenic meninges. We describe and illustrate a 7-year-old

boy with suprasellar lipoma associated with fever-induced convulsions in course of respiratory infection. Intracranial lipoma was

demonstrated with magnetic resonance imaging.

Keywords: child, intracranial, suprasellar lipoma, MRI
