Abstract

Intracranial endodermal cysts are most commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa anterior to the brainstem. We report a rare case of an endodermal cyst of the posterior fossa located dorsal to the brainstem and is to our knowledge the only other such case reported in the literature.
