- W2461602736 abstract "Intracranial epidermoid cysts are slow-growing congenital neoplasms that usually spread and adhere to critical neurovascular structures along the basal cistern, particularly the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and parasellar region. Clinical symptoms include trigeminal neuralgia, headache and dizziness, progressive hemiparesis, unstable gait and hemifacial spasm. With the aid of modern imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an effective microsurgical approach can be planned preoperatively to completely remove tumors and avoid complications.Twenty-six patients with intracranial epidermoid cysts were microsurgically treated between July 1984 and June 1997. Diagnostic procedures included enhanced CT and/or CT cisternography and MRI. All patients underwent microsurgical treatment for tumor removal.Total tumor removal was achieved in 12 patients (46.2%), near-total removal in seven (26.9%), partial removal in six (23.1%) and stereotactic biopsy in one patient (3.8%). Postoperative deterioration of the neurologic condition was found in three patients who required further surgery, aseptic meningitis in four patients and communicating hydrocephalus requiring shunting in three patients. The functional prognoses were excellent in 23 patients (88.5%), good in two patients (7.7%) and fair in one patient (3.8%). Among the 26 patients, three died of pneumonia three, six and nine months after surgery, respectively.MRI is particularly useful for defining the anatomic limits of tumor tissue and surgical planning. The surgical results were excellent in patients with near-total tumor removal, as well as in patients with total removal. Aggressive surgical tumor removal may result in transient, but significant, cranial nerve palsy and should be avoided. Perioperative administration of steroids and wound protection may be beneficial for preventing the development of postoperative aseptic meningitis and hydrocephalus." @default.
