| | eMedicine - Dermoid Cyst : Article by Zbigniew Ruszczak, MD, PhD |
 | | For neurosurgeons, dermoid cysts are associated with congenital cysts of the spine or intracranial cysts. | | | Intracranial, intramedullary, and ovarian dermoid cysts are difficult to treat, and sophisticated neurosurgical or gynecologic surgical techniques are often needed to remove the lesion and prevent possible complications. | | | In contrast, neurosurgeons would say that a dermoid cyst is associated with a congenital cyst of the spine or an intracranial congential cyst. |
