However, the incidence of intraventricular epidermoid cysts is low, and lateral intraventricular epidermoid cysts are even rarer. Here, we present a case of lateral intraventricular epidermoid cyst and review the relevant literature. A 54-year-old female complained of recurrent headaches over a 5-year period, with aggravated symptoms during the last 2 months or more. A computed tomography of the brain showed a low-density mass in the lateral ventricle and enlargement of the right ventricle. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging further confirmed that the mass was an epidermoid cyst. The patient underwent microscopic surgical resection combined with endoscopy using an interhemispheric craniotomy approach. The mass was satisfactorily removed, and the patient recovered well. Lateral intraventricular epidermoid cysts often present with clinical symptoms due to the invasion of surrounding brain tissue or blockage of the cerebrospinal fluid system. Diagnosis relies on examination by magnetic resonance imaging, and treatment relies on surgical resection. The prognoses of patients are mostly excellent and depend on whether the tumor is resected cleanly or not.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.388112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T07:01:15Z","timestamp":1697612475000},"page":"1002-1006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Lateral Intraventricular Epidermoid Cyst"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Zhe","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shun Z.","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu X.","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan L.","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Da Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-27-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.3109\/02688699008992726","article-title":"Intracranial epidermoid tumours: Thirty-seven years of diagnosis and treatment","volume":"4","author":"Zhou","year":"1990","journal-title":"Br J Neurosurg"},{"key":"R2-27-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"973","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.6.JNS163254","article-title":"Epidermoid cysts of the cavernous sinus: Clinical features, surgical outcomes, and literature review","volume":"129","author":"Zhou","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"R3-27-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1433","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2013.11.054","article-title":"Spontaneous regression of an epidermoid cyst of the cavernous sinus","volume":"21","author":"Yanamadala","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Clin Neurosci"},{"key":"R4-27-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-006-1060-6","article-title":"Hyperdense intracranial epidermoid cysts: A study of 15 cases","volume":"149","author":"Li","year":"2007","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien"},{"key":"R5-27-20240907","first-page":"55","article-title":"[Intracavernous epidermoid cyst.
