Description
An extensive epidermoid cyst in the posterior fossa was diagnosed in a 59 year old male patient. The most valuable indicator for differential diagnosis was given by plain skull X-ray showing a peripheral zone of sclerosis as the leading X-ray sign of epidermoids. CT and MRI complemented the preoperative diagnostic measurements. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Bei einem 59jaehrigen Patienten wurde ein grosses Epidermoid in der hinteren Schaedelgrube diagnostiziert. Den wertvollsten differentialdiagnostischen Hinweis erbrachte dabei die Nativdarstellung des Schaedels, die als roentgenologisches Leitsymptom des Epidermoids eine periphere Sklerosezone zeigte. CT und MRT vervollstaendigten die praeoperative Diagnostik. (orig.)Additional details
