Endoscopic removal of a suprasellar dermoid cyst in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of the literature

Gokmen Kahilogullari et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Introduction: Dermoid cysts (DCs) are unusual benign congenital intracranial tumors that typicallyarise in the midline and form as a result of abnormal sequestration of ectodermal cells during neural tubeformation. In all age groups, endoscopic approaches are preferable for the removal of sellar lesions. A 6-year-old girl with recurrent meningitis underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery forsellar DC.

Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of a suprasellar DC in a pediatric patient that was removed endoscopically.

Keywords: Dermoid cyst; Endoscopy; Pediatrics; Sella.
