  • Title: Unusual imaging appearance of an intracranial dermoid cyst.
    Author: Brown JY, Morokoff AP, Mitchell PJ, Gonzales MF.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2001; 22(10):1970-2. PubMed ID: 11733334.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial dermoid cysts have characteristic CT and MR imaging findings that generally make preoperative diagnosis straightforward. Enhancement of uncomplicated intradural dermoid cysts on CT or MR studies has been reported but is rare. We present a case of a posterior fossa dermoid cyst that was not only hyperattenuating on CT scans but also contained a mural nodule with clear evidence of enhancement on MR images.
