Asian J Neurosurg. 2015 Oct-Dec;10(4):313-5. doi: 10.4103/1793-5482.162716.

Abstract

Cranio spinal dermoid tumors are rare, benign, slow growing congenital, cystic uni or multi locular tumors, which arise from the inclusion of epithelial tissue within the neural grove during embryonic development.[1] In this case report, we present an uncommon presentation, of a case of concomitant dermoid cysts at conus medullaris and cervico medullary junction that ruptured into the central canal.

Keywords: Fat saturated T1-weighted sequence; rupture; spinal dermoid.
