Abstract Pai syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the association of a midline pericallosal lipoma, median cleft (palate or lip) and cutaneous polyps of the face. Only seven cases have been reported in the medical literature and we are not aware of any previously reported prenatally detected cases. In this article, we present the prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a syndromic pericallosal lipoma with associated anomalies that led to the prenatal diagnosis of Pai syndrome. We underline the impact on parental counseling following prenatal detection of pericallosal lipoma. Copyright © 2008 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
