What is Occipital Dermoid Cyst Associated with Dermal Sinus as a Cause of Neuroinfection about?

Occipital dermal sinuses (ODS) are rare dysraphic lesions resulting from defective separation of the ectoderm and neurodermpresenting with diverse clinical features from asymptomatic dermal sinus to symptomatic situations including hydrocephalus,meningitis or abscess. We present a 4-year-old girl presented with raised intracranially pressure and meningitis. Neuroradiologicalstudies evaluated finding as a cerebellar abscess communicating with congenital skin defect. The cerebellar abscess was treatedby radical excision through a suboccipital approach. Histological and peroperative finding confirmed dermoid cyst.
