The reliability of computerized axial tomography in the diagnosis of infratentorial mass lesions. A neurosurgical appraisal.

abstract：:The origin of cranial epidermoid cysts (EC) remains controversial, and although generally considered to be congenital, acquired origin has been reported. EC represent 0.2 to 1.8% of all brain tumours, and only one fourth are intradiploic in location. We report of a 44-year-old woman with a giant intradiploic EC of the...
