Dermoids of the posterior cranial fossa in children are rare. We report the clinical and pathological data on nine children with these lesions. A mean follow-up of 17.3 years after total removal confirms the excellent prognosis irrespective of whether the presenting symptom is meningitis or intracranial hypertension. A brief review of 39 published cases follows.

Abstract
Dermoids of the posterior cranial fossa in children are rare. We report the clinical and pathological data on nine children with these lesions. A mean follow-up of 17.3 years after total removal confirms the excellent prognosis irrespective of whether the presenting symptom is meningitis or intracranial hypertension.
