Abstract
English
Viene presentato un caso di tumore dermoide intracranico spontaneamente rotto, in un ragazzo di 16 anni, con esordio clinico rappresentato da crisi epilettica generalizzata. La TC e la RM evidenziano bene i caratteri morfologici e strutturali della cisti consentendo una valutazione completa della diffusione del suo contenuto nello spazio liquorale. Vengono presentati tutti i differenti aspetti che può assumere il liquido cistico sia all'interno del sistema ventricolare che nello spazio subaracnoideo.
