An intracranial epidermoid cyst is a noncancerous cyst that develops from skin cell remnants trapped inside the skull during development before birth. It grows very slowly and may go undetected for decades. An MRI may show a cystic structure within the skull consistent with an epidermoid cyst. Finding an intracranial epidermoid cyst allows for monitoring and surgical planning if it grows to affect nearby structures.
