Lateral angular dermoid may have associated bony defects which must be recognized before surgery. High-resolution 3-D CT scans and MRIs define these lesions very clearly. Total excision with attention to the bony defect is usually curative. CSF leak from the operative wound at the surgery or in the post-operative period signifies the intracranial connection or dural adhesion unnoticed by the Ophthalmologist before surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
