title: Dermoid tumours occurring at the site of previous meningocele repair.
abstract: Two cases of dermoid tumours following meningocele repair have been reported because of the rarity of the condition and paucity of literature. It should be stressed that a dermoid tumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological deterioration in patients with a repaired meningocele.
