Abstract

Intraspinal dermoids are uncommon tumours of childhood. They usually present with paraplegia, and bowel and bladder disturbances but rarely with meningeal signs. We report a 3-year-old boy with an intradural dermoid who presented with meningeal signs and masqueraded as pyogenic meningitis.
