چکیده

Dermoid cysts of the brain are not uncommon, and as many as 200 dermoid and epidermoid cysts found throughout the central nervous system have been reported by Rand and Reeves (1943). However, epidermoid and dermoid tumours of the spinal canal together with teratoid tumours, with or without communicating dermal sinuses, are of extreme rarity. Boldrey and Elvidge (1939) published a total of 43 epidermoid and dermoid cysts of the spinal cord, and in 1946 Ingraham and Bailey reported another five. Sachs and Horrax (1949) listed 59 cases and reported two more of their own, totalling 61 cases. They also published a list of 25 cases of intraspinal teratoids and teratomas, with a brief review of the literature. Moore and Walker (1951) reported a case of intraspinal epidermoid tumour. Sachs and Horrax estimated that the spinal dermoid and epidermoid tumours probably form about a quarter of the total number of those found in the central nervous system. According to Woltman, Kernohan, Adson, and Craig (1951) in their analysis of 979 intraspinal tumours, the spinal dermoid cysts form about 10% of all intraspinal neoplasms.
