Case of the Day
Ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst
Contributed by Neha Nibber
This patient had a heterogeneous lesion in the anterior left paramedian region, identified as a dermoid cyst. After undergoing a frontal craniotomy and tumour resection, the patient's post-op course was complicated by obstructive hydrocephalus, with a CT showing residual debris near the foramen of Monro, necessitating shunt placement.
