Fifty-three cases of intracordal epidermoid cysts diagnosed, treated and followed from 1972 to 1981 are presented. In the clinical evaluation, special attention must be paid to the type of dysphonia and morphology of the vocal cords at indirect laryngoscopy. The epidermoid cyst is not easily visualized and the examiner must take into account signs like "monochorditis," slight bulging, unilateral nodule and diminished or abolished vibrations of one of the cords at stroboscopy. Microsurgical excision followed by voice therapy is the recommended treatment. The pathogenesis of these cysts is still speculative. Two theories are discussed: the traumatic theory and the dysembryoplastic theory.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate the incidence, natural history, and management of cystic spinal lesions following myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of all patients who underwent myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure from 2013 to 2018 with follow-up to 5 years old.
Results: We analyzed 100 fetal repairs and 81 postnatal closures from 305 total surgeries.

Article Synopsis
- Ranulas are commonly thought to be sublingual cysts in children, but in this case, a 13-year-old boy was found to have a rare dermoid cyst instead, which is less than 0.01% of oral lesions.
- The boy presented with significant symptoms including swelling under the tongue, speech issues, and difficulty eating, prompting surgical excision of the cyst.
- The case emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis through histopathology and imaging techniques, as dermoid cysts can be mistaken for ranulas.
A narrative review on the practice of genital mutilation among Arab adolescent females and a case report on a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine, King Khalid University, Saudi Arabia. Electronic address:
Introduction And Importance: Female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), is a common practice in many Arab countries, including Egypt. One potential complication of FGM/C is the development of a clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst, which occurs when keratinized epithelial cells and sebaceous glands become incorporated into the circumcision scar line in the clitoral or labial area. The objective of this study is to present a rare case of a large clitoral epidermal inclusion cyst following FGM/C and to review the current practice of FGM/C in the Arab world, including Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia.

December 2024
Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA.
Background And Objectives: Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare, slow-growing but highly recurrent tumors with incompletely understood symptoms, progression, complications, and outcomes. The aim of the study was to characterize the symptomatology, surgical management, and long-term outcomes of these tumors.
Methods: This single-center retrospective analysis identified patients with pathologically confirmed intracranial epidermoid cysts from 1989 to 2023.
