Head trauma as a predisposing element for this phenomenon is extremely rare. Few reports address the diagnosis and management of trauma-related rupture of ICD. However, there is a pronounced knowledge gap related to the long-term follow-up and the fate of the leaking contents. Here, we present a unique case of traumatic rupture of ICD complicated by continuous fat particle migration within the subarachnoid space with its surgical implications and outcome.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nA 14-year-old girl had an ICD rupture following a vehicle collision. The cyst was located near the foramen ovale with intra and extradural extensions. Initially, we opted to follow the patient clinically and radiologically as she had no symptoms, and the imaging showed no red flags. Over the next 24 months, the patient remained asymptomatic. However, the sequential brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed significant continuous migration of the fat within the subarachnoid space, with the droplets noticed to increase in the third ventricle. That is considered an alarming sign of potentially serious complications impacting the patient\u2019s outcome. Based on the above, the ICD was completely resected through an uncomplicated microsurgical procedure. On follow-up, the patient is well, with no new radiological findings.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nTrauma-related ruptured ICD may have critical consequences. Persistent migration of dermoid fat can be managed with surgical evacuation as a viable option to prevent those potential complications such as obstructive hydrocephalus, seizures, and meningitis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_801_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T06:29:52Z","timestamp":1675405792000},"page":"39","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Traumatic
