Surgical strategy depends on the location and extent of the lesion, ranging from local excision to a combined intracranial-extracranial approach. Recurrence is uncommon and often easily managed.

“…If the fluid is hyperintense on T1-weighted images, the tract will often be seen on both unenhanced T1-weighted images and T2-weighted images. Nasal dermoid and epidermoid cysts are typically surgically resected due to the potential for an intracranial connection and the risk of CNS infection, as well as for cosmetic reasons (19). tumors that undergo cellular proliferation and accompanying enlargement in the 1st year of life, followed by gradual involution during childhood.…”
