Abstract:
Intracranial xanthomata occurring in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia are very rare. We present a young woman with a large intracranial xanthoma. The patient was treated for a familial hyperlipoproteinemia type IIa. MRI and morphological features are shown and discussed on reviewing the literature.
