We present a case of an intradiploic epidermoid cyst with an unusual complication. After a minor fall, a patient with a large right parietal epidermoid suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by the transfer of the force of the fall through the cyst contents to the brain and by transdural herniation of the cyst contents into brain parenchyma. Elective resection of intradiploic epidermoids associated with large bony defects is recommended to avoid this apparently rare but potentially dangerous complication of an otherwise benign condition.
我们报告一例板障内表皮样囊肿并伴有罕见并发症的病例。一次轻微跌倒后，一名患有右侧顶叶大型表皮样囊肿的患者遭受了创伤性脑损伤，其原因是跌倒的力量通过囊肿内容物传递至脑部，以及囊肿内容物经硬膜向脑实质内疝出。对于伴有大型骨缺损的板障内表皮样囊肿，建议进行择期切除，以避免这种在其他方面为良性疾病中明显罕见但具有潜在危险的并发症。
