title: Dense dermoids in craniocervical region.
abstract: Computed tomography of dermoids and epidermoids usually demonstrates areas of variable hypodensity, located most frequently in the sellar region and in the cerebellopontine angle. This report presents two cases of hyperdense dermoids of the craniocervical region which are compared with six other cases described in the literature.
