ABSTRACT
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 intracranial pressure (with neurological signs such as nausea, vomiting, oedema papilae n. optici) and, consequently, an acute intensive headache. Computed tomography scans demonstrated a mass in the third ventricle extending into the prepontine cistern, whereas any initially established cerebrospinal fluid ventriculoperitoneal shunt required further revision (Fig. 2, Ref. 12).
