Congenital dermoid cysts over the anterior fontanel. Report on 13 cases in Czechoslovak children.
The authors report on 13 cases of dermoid cysts over the anterior fontanelle in Czechoslovak children. These children were 2-19 months of age; with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. The cyst sizes ranged from 10 to 30 mm. Hence, the number of cases published in the world so far in children has increased to 174. Simultaneously, the number of European cases has increased to 30 (17.2%). Nevertheless, the dominance of the reported cases is still 74 in America (42.5%) and 45 in Africa (25.9%).
