  ABSTRACT: Intracranial dermoid cysts are nonneoplastic lesions that present a rare clinical entity. They account for 0.04% to 0.6% of all intracranial tumors. Such cystic lesions usually contain different ectodermal derivatives including hairs, sebaceous glands, apocrine gland and teeth. Dermoid cysts of foramen magnum occur very rarely, with few cases reported in the literature. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are two main diagnostic tools. Here in this paper, we described a case of intracranial (foramen magnum) dermoid cyst presented with neurologic deficits that completely removed surgically.
