title: Diagnosis of epidermoid tumor by computed tomography. Analysis and evaluation of findings.
abstract: Primary intracranial intradural extraventricular epidermoid tumor may be suggested by the findings on computed tomography (CT), which is also useful during the follow-up period. Epidermoid tumors may exhibit minimal symptoms and have usually spread far beyond their original site by the time they are found. Early detection, delineation, and characterization are possible with CT.
