Abstract
An unusual case of bilateral intratentorial lipomas with extension int o Meckel's caves and the cerebellopontine angle is described. Surgical and histopathologic correlation demonstrate that the lipoma encased t he trigeminal nerve in Meckel's caves, The origin of the lipoma from t he anteromedial margins of the tentorium is discussed and correlated w ith a recently proposed theory for the development of intracranial lip omas.
