Popis: Intracranial epidermoid cysts are very rare benign tumors representing less than 2% of intracranial tumors. They are located preferentially in the cerebellopontine angles, parasellar, and temporal regions. We report here the case of an epidermoid cyst of very uncommon medial location in the cerebellar vermis, in a 61-year-old female patient complicated with tumor protrusion into the foramen magnum and active hydrocephalus.
