Epidermoid cyst — intracranial

Head & Neck

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.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
