Intramedullary dermoid cyst is a rare entity. It is usually associated with spinal dysraphism and dermal sinus. Our case is an 18-months-old female child who presented with history of fever and mild difficulty in moving left leg. She had a sinus in mid dorsal spine since birth with history of intermittent discharge from it. On magnetic resonance imaging of spine she was diagnosed to have large intramedullary epidermoid/dermoid cyst in the D2-7 vertebral level with a sinus tract. A dermoid cyst along with the sinus tract was excised. Post-operative follow up period was uneventful with full recovery.
髓内皮样囊肿是一种罕见的病症。它通常与脊柱发育异常和皮样窦道相关。我们的病例是一名18个月大的女童,有发热病史且左腿活动轻度困难。她自出生起在脊柱中背部有一个窦道,并有间歇性分泌物排出史。脊柱磁共振成像显示,她在D2 - 7椎体水平有一个伴有窦道的巨大髓内表皮样/皮样囊肿。连同窦道一起切除了皮样囊肿。术后随访期间情况平稳,患儿完全康复。
