FRONTONASAL EPIDERMOID CYST WITH PATENT DERMAL SINUS TRACT OPENING ON THE DORSUM OF NOSE AND INTRACRANIAL EXTENSION THROUGH CRIBRIFORM PLATE DEFECT: A RARE CASE REPORT WITH REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Abstract

Congenital midface anomalies are rare. Multiple congenital midface anomalies occur in children. Imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help in characterising the lesions, making definite diagnosis and knowing about intracranial extension. We present a case report of 8 year old female child with Frontonasal Epidermoid Cyst with patent dermal sinus tract opening on the dorsum of nose and intracranial extension through cribriform plate defect.
