The encephalocele was repaired primarily on day 2 after birth. The patient demonstrated no symptoms associated with the bilateral CPA lipomas. Eight cases of bilateral CPA lipomas were identified in the literature review and are summarized. Conservative management is the consensus strategy, given minimum growth of the tumor and the high risk of surgical intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first reported case of bilateral CPA lipomas in an infant as well as the first with a coexisting intracranial malformation. Intracranial lipomas share an extremely low growth rate and typically do not cause severe symptoms. The management of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic bilateral CPA lipomas is usually conservative.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case23315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,25]],"date-time":"2023-09-25T21:19:10Z","timestamp":1695676750000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Bilateral cerebellopontine angle lipomas in an infant with encephalocele: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Oklahoma Children\u2019s Hospital, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiana Y","family":"Prather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Oklahoma Children\u2019s Hospital, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sherwin A","family":"Tavakol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Oklahoma Children\u2019s Hospital, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna E","family":"Gernsback","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Oklahoma Children\u2019s Hospital, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"b1","series-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol","first-page":"1429","article-title":"Cerebellopontine angle lipomas, multiple pigmented nevi, and temporal lobe hypoplasia: a new neurocutaneous syndrome?","volume":"169","author":"Amonkar PP","year":"1997","unstructured":"Amonkar PP, U KK, Patil JA, Merchant SA.
