Dermoid cysts are rare, benign neoplasms that develop when ectodermal tissue is ectopically included during neural tube closure. Only 0.7% to 1.8% of dermoid cysts occur intracranially, and these make up only 0.3% of all intracranial tumors. Definitive management of intracranial dermoid cysts is achieved with surgical excision, with the primary goal being removal of the lesion before rupture or infection occurs. The authors report the multidisciplinary management of a 6-month-old patient with a midline...
