A 5-year-old child presented with headache and blindness. Clinically she had blindness and bilateral optic atrophy. Computed tomography scanning of the head revealed multiple enhancing cysticercus cysts in the brain. She recovered from her blindness completely and lesions on the computed tomography scan either disappeared or diminished in size after 3 months of praziquantel therapy.

Two cases of dermoid tumours following meningocele repair have been reported because of the rarity of the condition and paucity of literature. It should be stressed that a dermoid tumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological deterioration in patients with a repaired meningocele.
