A huge intramedullary epidermoid cyst: mimicking cauda equina ependymoma. Diagnostic failure of myelography and myelo-CT.

Abstract:

:Intraspinal epidermoid tumors are rare and the intramedullary location is quite uncommon. In this report, a 48-year-old patient with intramedullary epidermoid cyst mimicking a cauda equina ependymoma is presented and diagnostic failure of conventional myelography and Myelo-CT is questioned and related literature is reviewed.
