WHAT IS SUBARACHNOID CHORISTOMA?

Q.All are true regarding intracranial lipoma except
a. subarachnoid choristomas, congenital malformations
b. due to maldifferentiation of the meninx primitive
c. most common location ---36% pericallosal, 25% quadrigeminal/superior cerebellar cisterns
d. intracranial vessels  and cranial nerves often course around  lipomas
e. interhemispheric lipomas are nearly always associated with hypogenesis of the corpus callosum

ANS .—d
 Intracranial lipomas may be defined as subarachnoid choristomas. They are abnormal collections of fat, neither hamartomatous nor neoplastic, believed derive from maldifferentiation of the meninx primitiva as a disorder of development of the subarachnoid space

Intracranial vessels (e.g., pericallosal arteries) and cranial nerves often course through, rather than around, lipomas .
