Zusammenfassung

Dargestellt wird der Todesfall einer jungen Frau, die bis dahin nie ernsthaft erkrankt gewesen war. Todesursächlich war ein nichtbekanntes intrakranielles Lipom, das zu einem Hydrocephalus occlusus und so zu einem zentralen Regulationsversagen geführt hatte. Bei Lipomen im Schädelinneren handelt es sich um seltene, angeborene Raumforderungen, die normalerweise gutartig sind und lebenslang asymptomatisch bleiben.

Abstract

The death of a young woman who until then had never suffered from any severe illnesses is presented. The cause of death was an unknown intracranial lipoma (ICL), which led to an obstructive hydrocephalus and subsequently to a central nervous system failure. Intracranial lipomas are rare congenital space-occupying lesions that are usually benign and remain lifelong asymptomatic.
