Source abstract
Nasal dermoid cysts are rare congenital anomalies that may cause recurrent infections and have the potential for intracranial extension. In this case, a six-year-old boy presented with fever, nasal swelling, and periorbital oedema. A pit found on the nasal tip raised suspicion of a dermoid cyst. MRI confirmed a dermoid cyst and furthermore showed intracranial extension. Surgery was performed at a tertiary unit in a joint venture by ENT and neurosurgery teams. Dermoid cysts should be considered in recurrent nasal infections, especially if a pit is seen between the glabella and columella.
