Intra-axial dermoid cysts are rare intracranial space occupying lesions, more so in the pediatric age group. Dermoid cysts account for about 0.2 to 1.8% of all intracranial tumors and are commonly located in the cisternal spaces, mainly in the cerebellopontine angle and parasellar cisterns. A purely intra-axial position as reported in this paper is quite exceptional.
We report a case of intra-axial dermoid cyst located in the cerebellum that was surgically treated. The origin, clinical course, radiological features, pathological findings, and surgical treatment are discussed based on a review of the literature.
An intra-axial dermoid cyst is a rare entity and a preoperative diagnostic dilemma, as the radiologic findings overlap with many other intra-axial cerebellar masses. The case is reported in this paper to highlight the fact that, although rare, the possibility of an intra-axial mass being a dermoid cyst does exist.
轴内皮样囊肿是罕见的颅内占位性病变,在儿童年龄组中更为少见。皮样囊肿约占所有颅内肿瘤的0.2%至1.8%,通常位于脑池间隙,主要在小脑脑桥角和鞍旁脑池。本文报道的纯轴内位置相当罕见。
我们报告1例位于小脑的轴内皮样囊肿病例,并对其进行了手术治疗。基于文献回顾,讨论了其起源、临床过程、影像学特征、病理结果及手术治疗。
轴内皮样囊肿是一种罕见的疾病,术前诊断存在困难,因为其影像学表现与许多其他轴内小脑肿块重叠。本文报告该病例以强调以下事实:尽管罕见,但轴内肿块为皮样囊肿的可能性确实存在。
