Intracranial Interdural and Extradural Cerebellar Convexity Dermoid Cyst: A Case Report of Rare Tumor at the Rarest Location
Funding None.
Abstract
Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare dysembryonic tumors of benign nature. These are uncommon in adults. If present, they are usually located in the midline or along the lines of embryonic fusion. The posterior fossa region is an infrequent site. Extradural or interdural locations are even more rare. In this case report, the authors report a laterally located large posterior fossa right cerebellar convexity interdural and extradural dermoid cyst over the sigmoid sinus. It was managed by totally extradural maximum possible safe decompression with microneurosurgical technique. The authors share their experience of addressing this rare pathology at the rarest location with unusual imaging findings.
