Epidermoid cysts of the cavernous sinus: clinical features, surgical outcomes, and literature review.

A favorable prognosis and symptomatic improvement can be expected after both total and subtotal capsule resections. Total capsule resection is encouraged to minimize the possibility of recurrence provided that the resection can be safely performed.
