摘要: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare congenital tumors. Because of a slow growth pattern, these tumors may attain considerable size before discovery. Patients harboring lesions generally have long history symptoms; average time between onset symptoms and diagnosis is 8.5 years [1, 2]. The mode presentation depends upon the location tumor. clinical picture nonspecific, include headache, seizures, dementia, and, occasionally, meningitis. Papilledema often absent, spinal tap normal in more than half cases [3, 4]. Plain skull x-rays abnormal show variety changes. This case illustrates previously unreported finding an intraventricular fat-fluid level secondary to spontaneous rupture cyst.
