Although not formally evaluated in the literature, tiny lipomas along the falx are not uncommonly seen and are considered incidental findings. Dermoid cysts are associated with skeletal dysraphisms and fibrous bands or dermal sinus tracts to the skin.

The only other consideration (for the MRI imaging appearance of fat signal in the CSF space) would be prior intrathecal administration of Pantopaque, which can be confirmed by history or by correlating with hyperdense foci on unenhanced head C T. Associated Anomalies Lipomas, especially in the midline, can be associated with corpus callosum and septal anomalies, other brain anomalies, and rarely with vascular anomalies. The degree and type of associated anomaly is related to the location and size of the lipoma, which is concordant with the idea that lipomas are congenital malformations and not neoplasms or hamartomas.
