Summary
Bilateral lateral ventricular epidermoid cysts are rare benign tumors. Surgical resection offers a curative outcome, with symptom improvement observed post-operation.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Epidermoid cysts are benign intracranial tumors originating from displaced ectodermal tissue.
- Intraventricular epidermoid cysts, especially involving bilateral lateral ventricles, are exceptionally rare.
- Typical imaging findings include hypodense lesions on CT and hyperintensity on T1/T2 MRI sequences.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
