Tackling Intracranial Epidermoid Cyst With Eggshell Technique – A Case Series and Technical Note.

Objectives: Epidermoid cysts, originating from residual ectodermal cells, are rare intracranial tumors commonly found in the 3rd to 5th decade of life. Due to the adherence of the tumor capsule to surrounding eloquent brain tissue, their surgical excision poses a challenge to the operating surgeon. Therefore, we introduce a surgical technique termed the eggshell technique. The primary objective is to assess immediate treatment outcomes and investigate clinical parameters such as recurrence risk and postoperative complications. This Materials And Methods: retrospective study includes 16 cases of central nervous system epidermoid cysts. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, and anatomical distributions. The study introduces and describes the eggshell technique as an effective surgical approach. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic data, clinical presentations, anatomical distributions, and treatment outcomes. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were employed for continuous variables, while categorical variables were summarized using frequencies and percentages. The study identified demographic trends, common clinic Results: al presentations, and anatomical distributions of intracranial epidermoid cysts. The eggshell technique was successfully implemented in all cases with positive immediate treatment outcomes. Rates of recurrence and postoperative complications were also evaluated. The study unders Conclusions: cores the effectiveness and innovation of the eggshell technique for managing intracranial epidermoid cysts. The detailed description of this eggshell surgical technique fills a gap in the existing literature, providing valuable insights into surgical management strategies. Further follow-up and research are warranted to validate these findings and explore long-term outcomes and patient quality of life post-surgery
