Abstract: The article in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences discusses a case study of a 24-year-old male with an intradiploic epidermoid cyst causing intracranial hypertension. The study highlights the use of virtual reality (VR) visualization in diagnosing and treating the cyst, showcasing its benefits in precise localization and mapping of surrounding neurovascular structures. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion, leading to complete resolution of symptoms. The 3D VR model provided valuable insights into the cyst's features and aided in conducting measurements of the lesion and adjacent critical structures.
