An acute headache and hydrocephalus caused by the dermoid cyst

We present a case report of a 41-year-old man with an acute headache and hydrocephalus caused by the dermoid cyst. The dermoid cyst of the third brain ventricle caused an acute hydrocephalus and an increased intracanial pressure (with neurological signs such as nausea, vomiting, oedema papilae n. optici) and, cosequently, an acute intensiv eheadache. Computed tomography scans demonstrated a mass in the peritoneal shunt required further revision.
