Cranial and Spinal Meninges01:19

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...
Brain Abscess l: Introduction01:26

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen. The...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare tumors, accounting for 0.3% of all brain tumors.
  • They typically occur in midline or sylvian locations, with intra-axial presentation being exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old female presented with a large intra-axial lesion.
  • Preoperative imaging suggested oligodendroglioma, posing a diagnostic challenge.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative findings and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the lesion as a dermoid cyst.
  • The patient experienced a favorable postoperative outcome with no recurrence at one-year follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with rare intra-axial dermoid cysts.
  • Complete surgical excision can be challenging due to potential adherence to critical neurovascular structures.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of intracranial dermoid cysts.
