Orbital dermoid cyst with intracranial extension in adults: an unusual case.
A case of a dermoid cyst with intracranial extension in a 48-year-old female is reported. Intracranial extension of a dermoid cyst is very rare. During its slow growth, it extends to the cranium from different regions by invading neighboring bones. Treatment is surgery, and there is no indication for radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
