Abstract

Chemical meningitis, a subtype of aseptic meningitis, as a complication of large left medial temporal epidermoid cyst excision is not a rare complication. Aseptic meningitis is characterized by noninfective serous inflammation of the meninges. It can occurs when associated with epidermoid cysts due to rupture of cyst contents into subarachnoid space resulting in aseptic chemical meningitis. Chemical meningitis is believed to occur due to an exaggerated inflammatory reaction, characterized by the release of several cytokines such as interleukin 10 (IL 10), interleukin 1β (IL 1β), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α). This response is triggered by the presence of keratin debris released into the subarachnoid spaces during the surgical extraction of epidermoid cyst contents. Consequently, these inflammatory processes can lead to the development of meningitis symptoms and even hydrocephalus. Here We present a case of a 45 year old female with a Chemical meningitis following left medial temporal epidermoid cyst excision . This uncommon diagnosis was further complicated by the rare occurrence of chemical meningitis as a post-operative complication.This review article conducts an in depth analysis of the available research on intracranial epidermoid cysts, with a particular focus on exploring their imaging characteristics and the potential surgical complications that may arise. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive overview of the present understanding of the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the infrequent occurrence of chemical meningitis following surgical intervention.
