Intracranial ruptured dermoid cyst presenting as dysarthria: A case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Intracranial dermoid cysts are tumors which are rare and are derived from ectopic epithelial cells. These dermoid cysts are slow-growing and are benign; they can cause morbidity by compressing the neurovascular structures. They also do rupture rarely into the subarachnoid space. Dermoid cystic tumors arise from the inclusion of ectodermal committed cells at the time of neural tube closure during the third to fifth week of embryogenesis. These lesions are slow growing due to the active production of hair and oils from the internal dermal elements. This is a case of a ruptured intracranial dermoid presenting as slurring of speech caused by the fat droplets.
