Summary

We present a case of brain stem epidermoid cyst, operated on twice. At first operation, the pus-like content of the cyst, lead us to the erroneous diagnosis of abscess or tuberculoma, as had happened in two previously cases published.

Due analysis and pathological examinations disclosed an epidermoid cyst, and a second operation was performed. The cyst was removed and the child recovered completely.

Resumen

Presentamos un caso de quiste epidermoide del tronco del encéfalo que precisó dos intervenciones, pues en la primera, el contenido de la cavidad fue interpretado como pus espeso, cuando en realidad se trataba de un quiste epidermoide, como demostraron los estudios histopatológico y bioquímico. Este error ocurrió también en dos casos previamente publicados en niños, que igualmente fueron intervenidos en dos ocasiones.

En la segunda intervención extirpamos de forma aparentemente total el quiste, recuperándose la niña completamente y sin secuelas.
