Abstract: Intradural dermoid cysts are exceptionally rare lesions with high morbidity rate. A surgical excision of these tumors is technically challenging with high risk of iatrogenic permanent lesions. However, it remains the only possible treatment in symptomatic patients. In this report, we present a case of a male patient with an intradural lesion just below the conus medullaris, extending from L3 to L5, that was treated surgically using the microscope to approach the intradural space.
