Post-traumatic epidermoid cyst: CT appearance.
We report development of an intracranial epidermoid cyst 2 years after a depressed skull fracture. The epidermoid cyst is presumed to be the result of introduction of epidermal elements at the time of trauma. Post-traumatic intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare and appear to be less common than those occurring in the spine.
