How to treat dermoid cyst

summary

Dermoid cyst is a kind of disease that is easy to appear in the skin, mostly because of bacterial or inflammatory infection. In the treatment, for the treatment of dermoid cyst, you can refer to the methods described below.

How to treat dermoid cyst

Method 1: surgical treatment is the only treatment, and the patients with cutaneous fistula should be removed together with the fistula. Because dermoid cysts are mostly located in the posterior fossa of the skull base and the capsule adheres to the surrounding tissues, it is difficult to completely remove the cyst wall.

Method 2: for the dermoid cysts in important parts of the brain, it is not necessary to remove all the cyst walls, but partial excision can be done. In case of epidural dermoid cyst with cutaneous fistula, the dura should not be cut to prevent intracranial infection and death. During the whole operation, do not let the contents of the capsule into the subarachnoid space, so as to avoid the occurrence of postoperative "aseptic meningitis". Once it occurs, continuous lumbar puncture or ventricular drainage, antibiotics and hormones should be used.

Method 3: when there is skin sinus, it should be removed at the same time. After the excision of dermoid cyst, radiotherapy can be used, but the effect of this method is very low, which can neither reduce the tumor nor prevent the recurrence of tumor. When removing the dermoid cyst in the corner of the eye, it should be noted that sometimes the cyst is connected with the dura mater. If the dura mater is injured by mistake but not treated in time, cerebrospinal fluid leakage may be formed.

matters needing attention

After suffering from epithelioid cyst, the patient can be operated on for the treatment of the disease. After the operation, the patient should keep a light diet and not eat mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish and other hair.
