A spinal dermoid cyst is a congenital condition that arises from improper closure of the neural tube during fetal development. This condition can remain asymptomatic for a long period. In most cases, spinal cysts occur in male patients. The disease may manifest from early childhood up to 30 years of age. Spinal dermoid cysts are often located in the thoracic region of the spine and encompass several vertebrae. A dermoid cyst consists of epithelial tissue containing hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and bone tissue.
Thanks to modern research, scientists have identified two types of spinal dermoid cysts:
• Congenital
• Acquired, arising from epidermal transplantation.
For diagnosing this condition, X-rays, MRI, and CT scans are used. With the application of the latest equipment, doctors at Top Ichilov Clinic can accurately assess the extent of the cyst and perform precise surgical operations aimed at its removal without damaging healthy tissues.
