Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are benign congenital tumors that originate from the ectodermal tissue. The sellar/suprasellar region is an infrequent location for epidermoid cysts and such cases are rarely reported in pediatric patients, as these become symptomatic only when they reach 30 years of age. Surgical intervention is considered the ideal treatment option in patients with suprasellar epidermoid cysts, either via open or endonasal approach. We discuss a case of a 12-year-old male who presented with left visual impairment and was treated with successful resection through an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). We also engage in a literature review of the use of EEA in the management of sellar/suprasellar epidermoid cysts in the pediatric age group.
