Abstract

Abstract Epidermoid cyst is a congenital benign lesion, rarely seen in the topography of the fourth ventricle. The authors report a case of a 48-year-old patient with headache and cerebellar ataxia due to an epidermoid cyst in the fourth ventricle. We performed a surgical resection with histopathological confirmation of the lesion.
