摘要

Background

Nasal dermoid cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can present with intracranial extension in approximately 10% of cases. Traditional surgical approaches require frontal craniotomy, which is invasive and may lead to significant morbidity.

Objective

We describe a novel, minimally invasive, endoscopic-assisted surgical approach for the removal of a nasofrontal dermoid cyst with intracranial extradural extension.

Methods

A 2-year-old girl with a nasal dermoid cyst extending intracranially was treated using an endoscopicassisted technique through a small skin incision. Surgical steps, intraoperative findings, and postoperative outcomes were recorded.

Results

The procedure allowed complete resection with excellent visualization, reduced morbidity, and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes. No cerebrospinal fluid leakage or recurrence was noted at 6-month follow-up.

Conclusion

Endoscopic-assisted removal is a safe and effective alternative to traditional approaches, providing excellent tumor visualization and better cosmetic results while minimizing surgical morbidity.
