Background: Epidermoid cysts (EC) are relatively rare congenital lesions. They arise from ectodermal debris during aberrant closure of the neural tube, are benign, and of slow growth. They are found predominantly in the cistern of the cerebellopontine angle, most are intradural, and very rarely, there is underlying compression of the venous sinuses, leading to benign intracranial hypertension.
Case description: We present the case of a patient diagnosed with a giant extradural, intradiploic EC with compression of the left transverse sinus and its successful management by using ultrasonic aspiration, performing a combined supra-infratentorial retromastoid approach with occipitotemporal craniotomy, without subsequent …

Objectives: Endoscopic–assisted surgery combined with the operating microscope has been described for several surgical techniques and pathologies of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). The use of an endoscope allows for a panoramic view of the CPA cistern and a high degree of maneuverability in narrow cisternal spaces that enable the surgeon to deal with most CPA lesions safely. We performed an observational study to describe the surgical anatomy and technique for endoscopic-assisted CPA surgery, describing our experience in a case series of patients with CPA pathology. Methods: Anatomical and surgical technique description of endoscopic-assisted surgery for CPA pathology, based on observations …
