Resumen

Los quistes epidermoides son lesiones congénitas benignas, de lento crecimiento, que representan el 1% de todos los tumores intracraneales. En un 25% tienen una localización intradiploica y excepcionalmente infratentorial.

Presentamos un caso clínico poco frecuente de un quiste epidermoide intradiploico gigante infratentorial. El paciente consultó por una diplopia y un síndrome cerebeloso. La tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética mostraron una lesión gigante lítica extradural de la fosa posterior de 5,2cm×3,8cm, con realce periférico con el contraste. Utilizamos un abordaje suboccipital retrosigmoideo para realizar una exéresis completa tumoral y una resección incompleta capsular, debido a la adherencia de ésta al seno lateral.

La evolución posoperatoria fue favorable.

Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura y discusión de nuestro caso.

Summary

Epidermoid cysts are benign, uncommon lesions (1% of all intracranial tumors). Their localization is intradiploic in 25% of cases, and exceptionally subtentorial.

We report here a rare case of giant intradiploic infratentorial epidermoid cyst. A 74-year old patient presented with recent diplopia and sindrome cerebellar. CT scan and MR imaging revealed a giant osteolytic extradural lesion of the posterior fossa (5,2cm×3,8cm) with a small area of peripheral enhancement after contrast injection. Retrosigmoid suboccipital craniectomy allowed a satisfactory removal of the tumor, followed by an acrylic cranioplasty. The outcome was good. Neuropathological examination confirmed an epidermoid cyst.

We review the literature and discuss our case.
