Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
From the case:
Fatty falx

Single axial non-contrast CT imaged demonstrates a small amount of fat within the falx without surrounding calcification, typical of incidental fatty falx.
From the case:
Fatty falx
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/10314/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
Selected images from an MRI demonstrate the falx to contain fat signal. This is a common incidental finding.
Case Discussion
Fatty falx cerebri is relatively common and is of no clinical significance.
