Epidermoid cysts are a very common type of benign intracranial tumor. However, their incidence within the ventricles is low, and lateral intraventricular epidermoid cysts are even rarer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in diagnosis, diffusion-weighted imaging is the key sequence. Treatment relies on surgical resection. Prognoses of patients are mostly excellent and depend on whether the tumor is resected cleanly or not. We describe a case of lateral intraventricular epidermoid cyst and briefly review the relevant literature.
