Epidermoid cysts are benign congenital tumors that originate from the ectodermal tissue. The sellar/suprasellar region is an infrequent location for epidermoid cysts and such cases are rarely reported in pediatric patients, as these become symptomatic only when they reach 30 years of age. Surgical intervention is considered the ideal treatment option in patients with suprasellar epidermoid cysts, either via open or endonasal approach.

- Grisel's syndrome (GS) is a rare condition that causes the atlantoaxial joint to partially dislocate without a traumatic cause, and this case study features a two-month-old girl, the youngest known patient with GS.
- The infant was initially thought to have an arachnoid cyst, but was later diagnosed with GS, likely due to a retropharyngeal abscess, after experiencing weakness and developmental delays.
- She ultimately received surgery to treat the condition, highlighting the importance of considering GS as a possible diagnosis even in the absence of classic symptoms, as early intervention is crucial to prevent severe neurological damage.
Background: Internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries are a major complication of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs), which can be difficult to manage. Adding to the management difficulty is the lack of literature describing the surgical anatomical classification of these types of injuries. This article proposing a novel classification of ICA injuries during EEAs.
