چکیده
Epidermoid cysts are benign, congenital, and rare lesions corresponding to approximately to 0.2% to 1.8% of all intracranial tumors.1 Because of its pearly appearance, in 1829, Cruveilhier described these tumors as Tumeure Perlée. Virchow and Bailey coined the term “Pearl Tumor”; and, in 1836, Müller introduced the “Cholesteatoma” denomination.2 Approximately 5% of epidermoid cysts affects the fourth ventricle, which is one of the less common locations.3 According to Sengupta and Singh, in 2015, only 100 cases of epidermoid cyst in the fourth ventricle had been reported.4 The aim of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics of an epidermoid cyst located in the fourth ventricle and the chosen therapy, as well as provide a brief reviewof literature.
