Large intraventricular epidermoid with bobble head doll syndrome in an adult

Abstract

Intracranial epidermoid tumors are rare (0.2–1.8%), histologically benign, slow-growing, congenital neoplasms of the central nervous system arising from the retained ectodermal implants. We report an unusual case of intra third ventricular epidermoid in an adult presenting with the Bobble-head doll syndrome and review the relevant literature.
