Article Synopsis
- Tumor-like lesions at the craniovertebral junction can present similarly to tumors, and this study analyzes common types like epidermoids, dermoids, and neurenteric cysts through a retrospective review of 170 patients across 119 reports.
- Neurenteric cysts were the most prevalent (81.2%), and complications occurred in 27.2% of cases, with 75.2% of patients having excellent outcomes and low recurrence rates (12%).
- The research highlights the significance of total resection in reducing recurrence and emphasizes that factors like patient age, associated anomalies, and preoperative planning greatly impact surgical results.
Intracranial epidermoid cysts are benign slow-growing ectodermal inclusions that account for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors. We retrospectively reviewed 36 such cases to evaluate the demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, anatomical distribution, surgical management, and treatment outcome of these tumors. Additionally, we sought to identify the relationship between median or paramedian cistern tumor localization and clinical parameters, such as recurrence risk, hospitalization duration, and postoperative complication rates.

Intraoperative resected specimen ultrasound and intraoperative resected specimen mammography may reduce the rates of positive margins and reexcision among patients undergoing conserving therapy. Our objective is to compare the two methods with the histopathological results for a preset cut off and asses which parameters can influence the positive margin status.
