Ruptured central nervous system dermoid cyst of the suprasellar region manifesting as unusual epileptic seizure: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

They are slow-growing benign tumors, but may cause significant morbidity through compression of neurological and vascular vascular structures and, rarely, rupture into the subarachnoid space. We present

OBJECTIVE Nasofrontal dermoid sinus cysts are rare. The embryological origin, presentation, treatment, and genetic associations of two cases of these cysts are discussed. Emphasis is placed on physical findings and the importance of addressing both the intracranial and extracranial

Brainstem dermoid cyst rupture with hydrocephalus in a child.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracranial dermoid cysts are ectodermal lesions of embryological origin. They are of slow progression and symptoms associated with unruptured cysts are most commonly due to mass effect. However, a potential rupture in the ventricular system is rare and can cause meningitis, seizures and

Dermoid sinus and cyst of the lip.
