“…Although Chaudhari et al found no direct relationship between the depth of the bone defect and time of presentation,[7] all the patients diagnosed during the first year of life (four patients) showed no lytic bone lesion in their imaging in this study. These findings emphasize the importance of an early diagnosis and intervention.…”

“…[27] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most reliable and accurate test[4] and shows the lesion as a low- and high-intensity mass on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, respectively. [37–9] It has been recommended to perform CT or MRI before surgery[9] to determine the extension of the cyst and the presence of a lytic bone lesion.…”

“…[37–9] The best procedure is a complete resection of the cystic mass with removal of the wall by blunt dissection of the tumour from the underlying tissue (dura or cranium) through an ellipsoid incision bordering the mass. [1] Care should be taken while excising the tumour overlaying an open anterior fontanel or a lytic bone lesion[7] to avoid injury of the underlying structures. Local rather than general anesthesia is preferred in most cases, especially when no lytic bone lesion exists, or the size is not very large.…”

Congenital dermoid inclusion cyst over the anterior fontanelle (CDIC) is an uncommon cystic lesion. It is a benign and curative lesion. In these two cases a soft, cystic mass located over the anterior fontanelle. The cyst had no intracranial extension and was easily excised intact. The clinical and image findings of the cysts were described and compared with the usual dermoids. 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 fontanelle (CDIC) is a rare and benign lesion.Pulse Vol.7 January-December 2014 p.42-45

“…[1,2,4,6] Precise physical examination and neuroimaging can be useful for differential diagnosis Computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrate the lesion as an extracranial, encapsulated, low-density mass without enhancement (known as a fluid-containing cyst) that is sometimes accompanied by lytic bone lesions. [2,7] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most reliable and accurate test [4] and shows the lesion as a low-and highintensity mass on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, respectively. [3,[7][8][9] It has been recommended to perform CT or MRI before surgery [9] to determine the extension of the cyst and the presence of a lytic bone lesion.…”
