Ruptured thoracic intraspinal dermoid cyst in a patient with skeletal abnormalities of thoracic spine – A case report

We present a very rare case of ruptured thoracic spinal dermoid cyst in a 12year old girl with congenital vertebral abnormalities, who presented with back ache of recent onset and a 5year history of unnoticed slipping of footwear while walking. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a lesion in the thoracic spine with fat droplets in bilateral frontal horns of lateral ventricle and cisterns of brain. Other additional findings were also noted.
