Epidermoid cysts, originating from ectopic embryonic epithelial cells, are a common type of benign intracranial tumor. However, intraventricular epidermoid cysts are rare, with those occupying the lateral ventricles being exceptionally uncommon. This report details the case of a 59-year-old male presenting with recurrent headaches over an 8-month period, accompanied by behavioral changes, memory impairment, and seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a large intraventricular mass consistent with an epidermoid cyst. The patient underwent subtotal resection via a transfrontal transventricular approach, resulting in good postoperative recovery.
表皮样囊肿起源于异位胚胎上皮细胞，是一种常见的颅内良性肿瘤。然而，脑室内表皮样囊肿较为罕见，而位于侧脑室的此类囊肿则尤为少见。本报告详细介绍了一名59岁男性患者的病例，该患者在8个月内反复出现头痛，并伴有行为改变、记忆障碍和癫痫发作。脑部磁共振成像显示脑室内有一个较大的肿块，符合表皮样囊肿的表现。患者通过经额经脑室入路接受了次全切除术，术后恢复良好。
