“…Dermoid cysts at the anterior fontanelle were regarded as relatively rare, but some authors have stated that the anterior fontanelle is the most common site for dermoid cysts of the scalp [1][2][3]. These cysts are excised to prevent infection, obtain histological diagnosis and rule out malignancy, or for cosmetic reasons.…”

“…In the present report we had one male and one female child. The size of the lesion has been associated with the age of the patient as a general rule in some reports (18) Histopathology always confirms the diagnosis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). In both cases the diagnosis was clenched by histopathology.…”

“…The Adeloye-Odeku disease (1) has been described by various terms (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). A pubmed literature review was carried out with the 6 commonest phrases outlined below and a total of 20 reports (of which 2 were epidermoids and were omitted from the review) were identified in literature: dermoid cyst over anterior fontanelle (1,3,10,11,12,16,17,20) (8 reports Congenital inclusion cysts over the anterior fontanel (6,7,14,15,19) (6 reports), Congenital inclusion cyst of the subgaleal space (2,4,5,7,9) (4 reports), congenital bregmatic cysts (bregmatic inclusion cysts / bregmatic dermoid cysts) (one report) (18).…”

“…It was first described by Adeloye and Odeku from Nigeria in 1971 (1) and was considered a disease of African children. Subsequent reports, in various races, have appeared from across the globe (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). There are only three documented cases in two reports of Indian origin in the English literature (18,14).…”

The "Adeloye-Odeku disease" or congenital dermoid cysts over the anterior fontanelle, is a rare congenital disorder of children initially described in Nigeria. It has been rarely reported in the Indian population (3 cases in 2 reports). These rare lesions are operated on by neurosurgeons in view of their location and differential diagnoses. We present two infants with the condition and a comprehensive review of the literature on pubmed using six common phrases used to describe this condition. The review was undertaken to analyze the reasons for the paucity of cases from the Indian sub-continent. The ethnicity, differential diagnosis, radiological features and management is discussed.KeywoRds: Adeloye-Odeku's disease, Dermoid cyst, Anterior fontanelle, Pediatric ÖZ "Adeloye-Odeku hastalığı" veya anterior fontanel üzerinde konjenital dermoid kistler ilk olarak Nijerya'da tanımlanmış nadir bir çocuk çağı konjenital hastalıktır.

“…Currently, CT and MRI are considered the best examination methods, to confirm its extracranial position [19][20][21] . Encephalocele, meningocele, hemangioma, lipoma, cephalohematoma, sebaceous cyst, pilonidal cyst and sinus pericranii are important parts of the differential diagnosis [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] .

-Congenital dermoid inclusion cyst over the anterior fontanel (CDIC) is an uncommon cystic lesion located over the anterior fontanel. It is a benign and curative lesion and most of the time, can be diagnosed at birth. From 1994 to 2001, three patients were operated with this kind of lesion and after reviewing the literature we found 229 cases and only 6 cases described in Brazil. Our objective in this study is to report three more cases.KEY WORDS: congenital inclusion, dermoid cyst, epidermoid cyst, anterior fontanel.Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior: relato de três casos Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior: relato de três casos Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior: relato de três casos Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior: relato de três casos Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior: relato de três casos RESUMO -Cisto dermóide de inclusão congênita sobre a fontanela anterior (CDIC) é lesão rara localizada na região da fontanela anterior. Trata-se de lesão benigna e curável que, na maioria das vezes, é diagnosticada no nascimento. De 1994 a 2001, três pacientes foram operados com este tipo de lesão e, através dos dados disponíveis na literatura, verificamos somente 229 casos descritos, apenas 6 descritos no Brasil, o que nos motivou a registrar mais três casos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: inclusão congênita, cisto dermóide, cisto epidermóide, fontanela anterior. Many different types of lesions over the children's skull exist and some are commonly diagnosed in daily practice. Congenital dermoid inclusion cyst over the anterior fontanel (CDIC) is a rare and benign lesion located over the anterior fontanel. Many children are examinated with lesions over the skull in our hospital. In a recent review of these children, our attention was drawn to three patients with a cystic rounded mass over the anterior fontanel. These three patients showed no neurological abnormality and the diagnosis of CDIC were confirmed by surgery and histological examination. Our literature search found 229 other cases (Table 1) of CDIC worldwide. CASESFrom 1994 to 2001, three patients were operated with a cystic mass over the anterior fontanel, being of different ages and without neurological abnormality at the time. The first patient a three-year-old-white boy. The second patient (Fig 1) a five-month-old-black girl and the third patient (Fig 2) a five-month-old-white boy. All patients were treated with surgery and using the same approach for each of them (Figs 3 to 12 -the second patient shows all the surgical steps, for better illustration). All three patients presented in this paper are similar in all aspects when compared to those in other papers. Two patients were reviewed recently. The first patient (Fig 13 -no photograph prior to surgery) has a learning disability but is not due to the cyst. He was noted to have a small lipoma over the callosal body. The recent photograph shows the cyst has not recurred. ...
