  • Title: Dermoid cyst mimicking hematoma in the posterior fossa.
    Author: Bizzozero L, Talamonti G, D'Angelo VA, Casadei GP, Arrigoni GL, Collice M.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 1992; 94(1):61-3. PubMed ID: 1321701.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial dermoid cysts are usually reported to be associated with long lasting or waxing-waning symptoms. Computer tomography (CT) scans usually depict such neoplasms as well-defined areas of low density. This report is about a case of a dermoid cyst, the acute clinical features and CT hyperdensity of which mimicked a hematoma in the posterior fossa. The association of acute onset with CT hyperdensity makes this case of dermoid cyst very unusual.
