A spinal dermoid cyst poses a significant danger to patients. These benign formations can undergo malignant transformation. A spinal dermoid cyst may have external openings through deep pits in the skin and can also be associated with other cysts. Patients also always face the risk of infection and cyst rupture.

Only the most experienced doctors from the Top Ichilov Clinic are involved in surgeries to remove spinal cysts. First and foremost, the surgeon must empty the cyst and completely or partially excise it. Through surgical intervention, the patient has the spinal dermoid cyst completely or partially excised.

Spinal Dermoid CystA spinal dermoid cyst is a congenital condition that arises from improper closure of the neural tube during fetal development. This condition can be asymptomatic for a long period. In most cases, spinal cysts are found in male patients. The disease can 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. The 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, occurring due to epidermal transplantation.

For diagnosing this condition, X-rays, MRI, and computed tomography (CT) are used. With the application of the latest equipment, the doctors at Top Ichilov Clinic can accurately assess the extent of the cyst and perform precise surgical operations to remove it without damaging healthy tissues.
