Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare benign masses that originate from the ectoderm that can reach large sizes due to slow growth. Symptoms usually depend on the pressure of the adjacent parenchyma. Spontaneous intracranial dermoid cyst rupture is rare but serious complications (such as aseptic meningitis, hydrocephalus, vasospasm, cerebral ischemia) may occur. Rupture can be diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We aimed to present CT and MRI findings of a case with intracranial dermoid cyst rupture.

İntrakranial dermoid kistler, yavaş büyümesi nedeniyle büyük boyutlara
ulaşabilen, ektodermden kaynaklanan, nadir benign kitlelerdir. Semptomlar
genellikle komşu parankim basılanmasına bağlıdır. Spontan intrakranial dermoid
kist rüptürü nadir olmakla birlikte ciddi komplikasyonlar (aseptik menenjit,
hidrosefali, vasospazm, serebral iskemi gibi) ortaya çıkabilir. Rüptür,
bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile teşhis
edilebilir. Biz burada, intrakranial dermoid kist rüptürü olan bir olgunun BT
ve MRG bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık.
