“…Etiologically, they are thought to derive from dermal and epidermal tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines as the neural tube closes in embryogenesis. 8 Histologically, they have a lining of squamous epithelium with dermal elements, such as hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. Within the cyst, keratin, hair, smooth muscle and lipid debris can be found.…”

Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies that require interventions only when they present as complications. They frequently present in childhood as midline nasal masses requiring excision. They may present with intracranial as well as intraorbital extensions, making it necessary to subject the patient for proper radiological diagnosis preoperatively. Here, we present a rare case report of 28-yearold male patient who presented at our tertiary health care center with nasal dermoid cyst expanding into the frontal sinus causing proptosis and blurring of vision. The cyst was excised by combined approach, i.e. external nasal dermoid sinus tract excision and endoscopic nasofrontal sinusotomy for complete removal. The embryology, clinical history, diagnosis and surgical management are discussed.

We describe a case of a dermoid cyst involving the orbit and frontal sinus of an adult treated at our tertiary referral center, and we review the literature on dermoid cysts of the orbit and frontal sinus. A 28-year-old Caucasian man presented with right-sided supraorbital swelling resulting in diplopia and reduced visual acuity. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans were preformed. Although a definitive diagnosis was unclear, the imaging findings were consistent with a dermoid cyst. The lesion was excised through an upper-lid incision. Postoperatively, the patient had a patent frontal sinus and his visual symptoms resolved. Dermoid cysts of the orbit are uncommon lesions that occur primarily in the pediatric population. Lesions extending into the frontal sinus have not been reported before in the literature. In adults, orbital dermoids are more likely to present with bone erosion, and therefore they should be considered in the differential diagnosis for orbital and frontal bone lesions extending into the frontal sinus.

“…Etiologically, they are thought to be derived from the dermal and epidermal tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines as the neural tube closes in embryogenesis during 3-5 weeks of foetal life. 2 They can occur in three primary locations in the head and neck: the frontotemporal region, the periorbital region and the nasoglabellar region. 6 Lesions in the nasoglabellar region are also termed nasal dermoid sinus cysts.…”

<p class="abstract">We describe a case of a craniofacial dermoid cyst in a 16-month boy treated at our tertiary referral centre. The patient presented with a soft tissue swelling in the mid forehead extending down to the glabella. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans demonstrated a peripherally enhancing cystic lesion with a defect in the underlying frontal bone. The clinical and imaging features were suggestive of a dermoid cyst with intracranial extension. The cyst became infected pre-operatively and this episode was managed by aspiration and antibiotics. Definitive management was by excision of the extra and intra-cranial components of the lesion via a bifrontal craniotomy. The presentation, investigations and management of this lesion is discussed.</p>
