Dermoid cysts are rare congenital slow growing neoplasms accounting for less than 1 % of intracranial tumors [2], Dermoid cysts confined to the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus are extremely unusual and clinical symptoms generally occur late in the course of tumor growth, due to local irritative effects of the space-occupying lesion. The most common clinical presentation results from involvement of the cranial nerves contained in the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus.
