epidermal cyst/headache

Cluster-like headaches have been described as secondary to several intracranial lesions. We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with a throbbing periocular pain associated with lacrimation and red eye. A contralateral epidermoid cyst was detected in the magnetic resonance imaging.

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome is a rare headache syndrome classified among the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It is usually idiopathic, although infrequent secondary forms have been described. Recently, the term

Lateral intraventricular tumors are not frequently observed. Since these tumors grow linearly rather than exponentially, they grow gradually and thus do not cause mass effects and hydrocephalus. This study is the case report of a rare great volume left intraventricular epidermoid cyst rupture. The

OBJECTIVE To describe an innovative endoscopic technique to treat prepontine epidermoid cysts. These cysts are typically resected in a microsurgical fashion and can be associated with significant risks and complications. This report is the first description of an endoscopic-assisted removal of an

A 44-year-old man presented to the hospital with multiple intracranial epidermoid cysts. The clinical manifestations of his disease included chronic headaches and one seizurelike episode. Findings determined by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, surgery, and histological analysis indicated intrathecal

A case of a dense epidermoid cyst of the suprasellar cistern is presented. The clinical symptoms were headache radiating to the left eye and a quadrant anopsia on the left eye. The density of the epidermoid was 62 HU and no significant contrast enhancement occurred after contrast application. The

A 60-year-old man presented with an occipital mass under the scalp and complained of headache, nausea, and dizziness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined mass in the occipital scalp extending from the scalp through the cranium and several centimetres into the posterior fossa. There were

OBJECTIVE Demonstrate the inpatient rehabilitation potential of cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst patients. Due to their location, symptoms may present with a complex combination of headache, cerebellar dysfunction, and cranial nerve deficits affecting functional status. METHODS This report

Epidermoid cysts occur whenever two epidermal surfaces fuse together during early intrauterine life and an ectodermal implant is retained deep to the surface. They are very slow growing and symptoms may not occur till middle age. The authors present a patient whose symptoms of frontal headache were

A 63-year-old man presented with an unusual supracallosal epidermoid cyst with repetitive hemorrhages that initially manifested as severe headache in 2003. Physical examination found no neurological deficit. Computed tomography demonstrated a homogeneously high density mass lesion measuring 3 x 3 cm

Epidermoid cysts of the temporal bone are extremely rare and such lesions arising in isolation within the mastoid bone have never been reported in literature. We report and describe the first two unique cases of primary epidermoid cysts arising in the mastoid bone. Of the two cases, one presented

Epidermoid cysts are benign lesions. The goal of this surgery is complete removal while preserving cranial nerves. Here, we illustrate the case of a 31-year-old male who presented with persistent headache following a short period of impaired consciousness. Imaging revealed a mass at the

BACKGROUND A rare case of intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone is described and recent literature, which emphasizes the radiological evaluation and surgical treatment of this lesion is reviewed. METHODS A 56-year-old female patient complained of headache and occasional episodes of
