Abstract
Dermoid account for 0.04–0.06% of intracranial tumors. The rupture of these slow-growing lesions are a rare event, generally taking place spontaneously. Their presentation are clinically variable according to cyst topography and integrity. Surgery remains the first-line therapy and gross total resection should be attempted if feasible. We report on a case of a 22-year-old male with a 2-year history of seizures and cognitive impairment and a temporal mesial dermoid cyst successfully treated with gross total resection microsurgery.
Resumo
Os Cistos dermoides compreendem 0,04–0,06% dos tumores intracranianos. É uma lesão de crescimento lento, e sua ruptura é um evento raro e espontâneo. A variabilidade clínica vai de acordo com a topografia do cisto e sua integridade. A cirurgia continua a ser a terapia de primeira linha, e a ressecção total é a opção sempre que for possível. Os autores relatam um caso de paciente com 22 anos de idade com histórico de 2 anos de convulsões e comprometimento cognitivo e diagnosticado com um cisto dermoide mesial temporal, tratado com sucesso com ressecção microcirúrgica.
