Abstract
Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition. The majority arise in the cerebellopontine angle or parasellar. They are considered malformations due to incorporation of ectoderm into the folds of the developing nervous system at the time of closure of the neural tube (3.-5. gestational week). They consist of delicate connective-tissue capsule lined by laminated squamous epithelium filled with keratin. In the majority they are associated by further dysrhaphic malformations like dermalsinus, which can be the cause for secondary infection.
