Intracranial Epidermoid

Intracranial epidermoid tumor is rare and intraventricular epidermoid is further rare. Occurrence of epidermoids is common in posterior carnial fossa. Fourth ventricle is relatively common site for intraventricular epidermoid. Epidermoid tumor in lateral ventricle is very rare. Such a tumor presenting with severe progressive coarse tremor and weakness in opposite side of the body probably had never been reported. The epidermoid was removed by endoscope assisted microsurgical technique. Post operatively patient recovered from tremor limbs weakness. Here we report a very rare case of lateral intraventricular epidermoid with tremor and weakness in opposite limbs as well as surgical techniques with short review of related literatures.J MEDICINE January 2016; 17 (1) : 46-50

Abstract Purpose. Intracranial epidermoid tumors are slowly growing benign tumors, but due to adjacent critical neurovascular structures, surgical resection is challenging, with the risk of recurrence. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been used to evaluate the characteristics of brain tumors, but its utility for intracranial epidermoid tumors has not been specifically explored. This study analyzed the utility of preoperative ADC values in predicting tumor recurrence for patients with intracranial epidermoid tumors. Methods. Between 2008 and 2019, 23 patients underwent surgery for intracranial epidermoid tumor, and their preoperative ADC data were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: the recurrence group, defined by regrowth of the remnant tumor or newly developed mass after gross total resection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and the stable group, defined by the absence of growth or evidence of tumor on MRI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to obtain the ADC cutoff values for predicting tumor recurrence. The prognostic value of the ADC was assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Results. The minimum ADC values were significantly lower in the recurrence group than in the stable tumor group (P = 0.046). ROC analysis showed that a minimum ADC value lower than 804.5×10− 6 mm2/s could be used to predict higher recurrence risk of intracranial epidermoid tumors. Subtotal resection, younger age, and mean and minimum ADC values lower than the respective cutoffs were negative predictors of recurrence-free survival. Conclusions. Minimum ADC values could be useful in predicting the recurrence of intracranial epidermoid tumors.

ABSTRACT:Two patients with recurrent aseptic meningitis are reported. Intracranial epidermoid tumors were eventually found in both patients. CSF changes in our first case with an epidermoid tumor were similar to those reported in Mollaret’s meningitis, with an initial polymorphonuclear pleocytosis early in each attack, followed by a lymphocytic predominance several days later. Large cells which proved to be macrophages were also seen in the CSF of this patient. Both patients had meningitis attacks for several years before the underlying epidermoid tumor was found. Mollaret’s meningitis remains a diagnosis of exclusion. These patients should remain tumor suspects for many years and deserve careful and repeated investigation.
