Abstract
Intracerebral epidermoid cysts are extremely rare. We report the case of a 16-year-old girl with an intracerebral epidermoid cyst in the left temporal lobe. The lesion was totally removed through a minimally invasive minicraniotomy by which we could obtain satisfactory intraoperative disclosure and manipulation. The incidence, clinical course, radiological features, surgical treatment, and complications of such a rare lesion are discussed.
Key words
Epidermoid cyst - intracerebral tumor - minicraniotomy
