We discussed the case of a 14-year-old patient with acute onset of psychiatric symptoms for two months who had been examined and different antipsychotic drugs had been prescribed by several psychiatrists without any neuroradiological imaging. Because of unresponsiveness to the antipsychotic drugs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed which revealed a ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst. The patient underwent surgery and antipsychotic medications were withdrawn in short time. The emphasis of this case is that intracranial lesions can present with neuropsychiatric symptoms and findings only without any neurological deficit or signs.

Dermoid cysts originate from embryonic tissues trapped in the cranial fusion lines and typically manifest extra-axially. However, intradiploic dermoid cysts are rare among cranial tumors, and their rupture has been sparsely documented. We present a case showcasing a remarkable phenomenon-the spontaneous rupture of an intradiploic dermoid cyst into the subarachnoid space, displaying a distinct "volcano-like" appearance on CT and MRI scans.

Article Synopsis
- Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), or Haberland syndrome, is a rare condition affecting the skin, central nervous system, and eyes, characterized by tumors and other abnormalities.
- Key symptoms include specific skin lesions, subcutaneous lipomas, and neurological issues like intracranial lipomas and developmental delays.
- Diagnosis primarily relies on clinical evaluation with possible genetic testing; management is multidisciplinary, focusing on symptom relief and monitoring for potential complications.
A Retrospective Single-Center Study in 20 Patients With Midline Nasal Masses: Which Site Has the Highest Risk of Recurrence?

Objectives: Midline nasal masses are rare and challenging for surgeons. This study examined the site with the highest risk of recurrence following midline nasal mass excisions.
Methods: Surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed following excision of midline nasal masses between 2010 and 2022 in the predominantly pediatric patient cohort.
