Austin Neurosurgery: Open Access Lateral Ventricular Epidermoid with Severe Coarse Tremor and Weakness in Opposite Limbs: A Rare Case Report

Intracranial epidermoid tumor is rare and intraventricular epidermoid is rarer. For intracranial epidermoid tumor, posterior carnial fossa is the common site. Fourth ventricle is relatively common site for intraventricular epidermoid. Epidermoid tumor in lateral ventricle is very rare. Such a tumor presenting with severe progressive coarse tremor and weakness in opposite side of the body probably had never been reported. The epidermoid was removed by endoscope assisted microsurgical technique. Post operatively patient recovered from her symptoms. Here, we report a very rare case of lateral ventricular epidermoid with tremor and weakness in opposite limbs as well as surgical techniques with short review of related literatures.
