A Case of Thoracic Spine Intramedullary Dermoid Cyst
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Intraspinal dermoid cysts are rare and benign congenital tumors that occur due to the defective closure of the neural tube. They can be intramedullary (rare) & extramedullary (common). They comprise 1% of intracranial and intraspinal tumors. Most common location is lumbosacral region (60%), upper thoracic (10%) and cervical regions (5%). Because of the the rarity of this type of dermoid cyst, we would like to report this case of a 17 year old male who presented with right leg weakness and difficulty in walking.
