Summary
Computed tomography (CT)-dense epidermoid cysts are uncommon. This case highlights a rare CT-dense trans-tentorial epidermoid cyst found alongside a chronic calcified subdural hematoma.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Neuroradiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Dermoid and epidermoid cysts are rare intracranial tumors.
- CT-dense variants are exceptionally infrequent.
- Trans-tentorial locations present unique surgical challenges.
