Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Spinal Cord Pathology

Background:

  • Intramedullary epidermoid cysts are rare spinal cord tumors, infrequently associated with spinal dysraphism.
  • Fewer than 50 cases are documented, with limited prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.

Observation:

  • Two cases of spinal intramedullary epidermoid cysts without spinal dysraphism are presented.
  • One cyst was located at the D4 vertebral level; the other was within the conus medullaris.
  • Both cases underwent detailed MRI evaluation.

Findings:

  • The study provides detailed clinical features and characteristic MRI findings for these rare tumors.
  • Surgical treatment approaches and outcomes for the presented cases are discussed.
  • The findings contribute to the limited literature on imaging and management of these lesions.

Implications:

  • Enhanced understanding of the MR imaging appearance of spinal intramedullary epidermoid cysts.
  • Improved diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning for these rare spinal tumors.
  • Further research into the etiology and long-term management of intramedullary epidermoid cysts is warranted.
