A Case of Epidermoid Cyst in the Fourth Ventricle

ABSTRACT

Epidermoid cyst is a congenital tumor and it's incidence is relatively rare in all intracranial tumors. Preference site is the basal surface of the brain, particularly the cerebellopontine angle and parasellar region. We report a epidermoid cyst in the fourth ventricle of 37 years old femals with signs of cerebellar dysfunctions. The literature on the incidence, diagnosis, surgical technoque and complications are reviewed.
