Interdural cavernous sinus epidermoid cyst

J Clin Neurosci. 2008 Feb;15(2):212-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jocn.2006.10.029.

Abstract

We report a patient with an uncommon interdural epidermoid tumor, located within the confines of dural layers of the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. The tumor was resected by a basal subtemporal extradural-interdural approach. Following the surgery, the 45-year-old female patient recovered completely from her symptoms of atypical neuralgic facial pains.
