Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare congenital lesions that typically occur in the cisternal spaces. However, exceptionally rare cases of intraaxial involvement have been reported, with only 8 cases having been described in the literature. The authors report the first case of an intraaxial dermoid

We report a man with a ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst, suffering from headache, nausea, vomiting and a generalised seizure. MRI was performed before and 2 weeks after surgical resection. On T1-weighted images the tumour gave high signal, as did fatty material in the frontal and parietal brain

Pancreatic dermoid cysts are a rare entity. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The diagnosis is generally taking intraoperative. A 20-year-old female presented with epigastric pain without nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, jaundice, and weight loss of one-month duration. Ultrasonography and

BACKGROUND Mature cystic teratomas, commonly known as dermoid cysts, are the most frequent ovarian tumors discovered during pregnancy. They are present in 0.3% of pregnancies from weeks 16-20 of gestation. The diagnosis of mature cystic teratomas during pregnancy presents the vexing problem of

There is a wide group of lesions that may exist in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Embryologically, there is varying evidence that many of these entities may in fact represent a continuum of pathology deriving from a common ectodermal origin. The authors report a case of a concomitant

In this study, we report a rare case of intradiploic dermoid cyst in a patient who developed rapid symptoms of intracranial hypertension (ICH) that mimicked Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome clinically. A 25-year-old female presented with a history of headache, nausea, vertigo and blurred vision in the

A 67-year-old uniparous woman had undergone surgery for acute perforated gastric ulcer 10 years prior to the current presentation. Although abdominal computed tomography (CT) performed at that point had revealed a mature cystic teratoma measuring 6 cm in diameter in the right ovary, it was left

BACKGROUND Intracranial dermoid cystic tumors account for <1% of all intracranial masses. METHODS A 52-year-old male, having headaches, nausea and is presented with a history of 2 episodes of new onset seizures. On presentation, the patient had a normal physical exam, including a complete

BACKGROUND Of all patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute pelvic pain, approximately 2.7% of cases are caused by ovarian torsion. We report a rare occurrence of bilateral ovarian torsion in a young woman. METHODS We report the case of a 20-year-old white woman who presented with sudden onset

BACKGROUND A 27-year-old man presented at the emergency room with episodic acute headaches and nausea for a few weeks. Neurological examination was normal.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association of clinical, laboratory and ultrasound findings with the surgical diagnosis of adnexal torsion in a retrospective cohort of women operated for suspected torsion. METHODS The study included 199 reproductive age women > 16-year-old who

BACKGROUND Appendiceal torsion is rare and generally seen more frequently in children than adults. Untreated it can lead to necrosis, ulceration, and subsequent peritonitis. METHODS A middle-aged female presented with a 5-day history of cramping abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. Abdominal wall
