Quiste epidermoide intradiploico infratentorial gigante

Abstract: ResumenLos quistes epidermoides son lesiones congénitas benignas, de lento crecimiento, que representan el 1% de todos los tumores intracraneales. En un 25% tienen una localización intradiploica y excepcionalmente infratentorial.Presentamos un caso clínico poco frecuente de un quiste epidermoide intradiploico gigante infratentorial. El paciente consultó por una diplopia y un síndrome cerebeloso. La tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética mostraron una lesión gigante lítica extradural de la fosa post… Show more

“…The rate of epidermoids growing is slow, linear in contrary to the most of the other tumors with their exponential growth 1) . In correspondence with that the age at the onset of complaints in this group (mean age of 55 years, range-24-74 years) was logically higher compared with that of the non-giant intradiploic epidermoid cysts of the skull (mean age of 32 to 38 years) 3) .…”

“…X-ray films of the skull and their radiation burden must be avoided, because the lytic occipital bone defect revealed by them is clearly visualized by CT, which in addition demonstrated the giant hypodense lesion and sometimes post-contrast rim enhancement of the thickened dura mater. Regardless that the surgery could be performed on only based on CT scans 6) , if available MR imaging should be obligatory in the preoperative investigations, because of its detailed imaging information 1,7) . MR imaging reveal giant extradural lesion inhomogeneously hypointense in T1-weighted and hyperintense in T2-weighted images, with a post-gadolinium dural enhancement over the cerebellum.…”
