Nasal dermoid with intracranial involvement.

W D Clark, B J Bailey, C M Stiernberg

    Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery : Official Journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

    Summary

    Nasal dermoids (ND) are rare congenital tumors diagnosed via physical exam. Surgical excision is standard, with CT scans crucial for detecting deep or intracranial extension, necessitating neurosurgical consultation.

    Area of Science:

    • Embryopathology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Nasal dermoids (ND) are uncommon congenital lesions arising from embryological malformations.
    • Diagnosis is typically straightforward via physical examination.

    Observation:

    • Deep-seated nasal dermoids frequently involve the skull base.
    • Intracranial extension of nasal dermoids occurs in a notable proportion of cases.

    Findings:

    • High-resolution computed tomography (CT) is instrumental in identifying deep and intracranial extension.
    • A bifid crista galli on CT imaging is a significant indicator of intracranial involvement.

    Implications:

    • Complete surgical excision, often using microsurgical techniques, is the recommended treatment for nasal dermoids.
    • Neurosurgical consultation is imperative for all nasal dermoid cases with suspected deep or intracranial extension to ensure comprehensive management.
