Acute Urinary Retention Induced by Chemical Meningitis Which Occurred Due to a Ruptured Dermoid Cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meningitis retention syndrome (MRS), a rare complication of aseptic meningitis, can present with acute urinary retention. The rupture of a dermoid cyst, which is a benign intracranial tumor, can sometimes induce chemical meningitis. We herein present a case of chemical meningitis and acute urinary retention that was induced by the rupture of a dermoid cyst. The patient experienced urinary retention for approximately 60 days, and then made a complete recovery thereafter. This is the first reported case of acute urinary retention due to the rupture of a dermoid cyst.

Ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst manifesting as new onset seizure: a case report.
Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare tumors derived from ectopic epithelial cells. They are slow-growing benign entities, but can cause significant morbidity through compression of neurovascular structures and, rarely, rupture into the subarachnoid space. We present a rare case of a spontaneously ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst presenting as new onset seizures due to chemical meningitis cause...
متن کاملRuptured Conus Medullaris Dermoid Cyst with Fat Droplets in the Central
Spinal dermoid tumors are rare, benign, slow growing tumors. These tumors may become acutely symptomatic after rupture or infection. Excision of the lesion with long term close follow-up studies is required for the management of these lesions. We present a very rare case of ruptured conus medullaris dermoid cyst in a 22-year-old male presented with urinary retention and low back pain. Magnetic ...
متن کاملRuptured Intracranial Dermoid and the Chemical Shift Artifact
Intracranial dermoids are rare congenital conditions accounting for 0.04%–0.6% of all intracranial tumors and are derived from ectopic cell remnants incorporated into the neural tube. They are composed fibrous stratified squamous epithelium capsule, enclosing thick viscous greenish‐brown fluid. This fluid contains lipid metabolites, cholesterol crystals, whorls of hair, calcified areas, and dec...
متن کاملChemical meningitis caused by spontaneous rupture of spinal teratoma.
Chemical meningitis is a medical condition characterised by sterile meningitis that usually develops in certain patients after neurosurgical procedures. Its acute clinical course and standard laboratory findings are indistinguishable from those of bacterial meningitis. We hereby describe a case who presented with clinico-investigatory profile suggestive of acute bacterial meningitis. Patient sh...
متن کاملRuptured intracranial dermoid cyst.
I ntracranial dermoid cystic tumors account for <1% of all intracranial masses. Dermoids are nonneoplastic, congenital ectodermal inclusion cysts that contain varying amounts of ectoderm derivatives to include apocrine, sweat, and sebaceous cysts as well as hair follicles, squamous epithelium, and possibly teeth. Th ey are not to be confused with an epidermoid cyst, which contains only squamous...
