Overview
Common complications of periorbital dermoid cysts include inflammation and recurrence when not completely excised.[1]
Complications
Ovarian Dermoid Cyst
Periorbital Dermoid Cyst
- Common complications of periorbital dermoid cysts include:[1]
- Inflammation
- When a dermoid cyst is disrupted, it results in an inflammatory reaction.
- Recurrence when not completely excised
- Inflammation
Spinal Dermoid Cyst
- Rupture is the most common complication of spinal dermoid cysts.[3]
Intracranial Dermoid Cyst
- Common complications of intracranial dermoid cysts include:[4]
- Mass effect
- Compression of adjacent structures, e.g. optic chiasm
- Rupture (spontaneous, traumatic, or iatrogenic (at resection))
- Fat droplets from the ruptured cysts may disseminate into the subarachnoid space and ventricles which may result in the development of aseptic chemical meningitis
- Mass effect
