Abstract: Spinal epidermoid cyst is a rare entity. It can be congenital with associated spinal dysraphism or acquired due to repeated lumbar puncture and trauma. Congenital spinal epidermoid cysts without spinal dysraphism are rare. Here we are reporting a rare case of thoracic extramedullary intradural epidermoid cyst with no associated features of spinal dysraphism or any history of iatrogenic trauma in a young female patient.
