Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
I have gone through your findings in detail.
You have small inter hemispheric lipoma and mostly it is an incidental finding.Inter hemispheric lipoma is an abnormal fat containing structure in mid line of the brain in frontal (anterior)region.
It is not related to your symptoms at all.These are congenital in origin and rarely are symptomatic.Typically these lesions are managed conservatively and doesn't require operation.
It is important to know about status of corpus callosum(part of brain) because it may be associated with corpus callosum abnormalities.You should wait for complete detail report so that it can be managed in a proper way.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
