“…Ikeuchia et al have reported the case of a six-year-old female with progressive vision deterioration and bitemporal hemianopia. The patient underwent frontoparietal craniotomy and interhemispheric approach; postoperatively, the patient experienced worsening of the vision [20]. Eliash et al have reported a case of a five-year-old child with an unusual suprasellar epidermoid cyst with pituitary insufficiency and optic nerve involvement.…”

Epidermoid cysts are benign congenital tumors that originate from the ectodermal tissue. The sellar/suprasellar region is an infrequent location for epidermoid cysts and such cases are rarely reported in pediatric patients, as these become symptomatic only when they reach 30 years of age. Surgical intervention is considered the ideal treatment option in patients with suprasellar epidermoid cysts, either via open or endonasal approach. We discuss a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with left visual impairment and was treated with successful resection through an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). We also engage in a literature review of the use of EEA in the management of sellar/suprasellar epidermoid cysts in the pediatric age group.

“…Typical presentation is non-specific headache and visual disturbances. 9 The lesion can be seen adhered to optic nerve/chiasm, pituitary stalk, and/or basilar artery, apart from encasing the circle of Willis vessels. Differential diagnosis at this site includes the other more common lesions in this location like craniopharyngioma, arachnoid cyst, dermoid cyst and Rathke's cleft cyst which can be differentiated by post-contrast, FLAIR and diffusionweighted MRI sequences.…”

Spectrum of intracranial and spinal epidermoids including unusual locations and imaging findings: A pictorial review

et al. 2022

Intracranial and spinal epidermoids are benign slow-growing congenital lesions. They are predominantly intradural, extra-axial in location, with intraaxial locations (intra-parenchymal and spinal intramedullary) being rare. The most common locations of intradural epidermoids are cerebellopontine angle cistern followed by supra-and para-sellar regions, and fourth ventricle. Less common locations include inter-hemispheric fissure, sylvian fissure, lateral ventricle, intracerebral, velum interpositum cistern, superior cerebellar cistern and pineal gland. They can also be extradural, usually arising in the diploic space of the calvaria, though they are less common. Magnetic resonance imaging is the primary modality for diagnosis and knowing the extent of the lesion. In this pictorial review, we intend to illustrate their classical and unusual locations, atypical imaging findings including calcifications, rare complications like haemorrhage or spontaneous rupture.
