    Posterior fossa hygroma is a rare entity. In a series of 553 cases of surgically treated traumatic subdural lesions, reported by Jamieson and Yelland, only 14 were in the posterior fossa; of these 7 were hygromas and 7 haematomas, giving an incidence of only 1,4% of all subdural haematomas. This report describes a case of a posterior fossa hygroma, that occurred in a 16-years-old boy, 4 days after an occipital head injury.

    Incidental findings of brain lesions in head injury are seen frequently. In our region NCC is common, but in literature meningioma andarachnoid cyst are common. Here we report a case of incidental finding of posterior fossa epidermoid in a 25 years old male patient who had history of minor head trauma which was operated with relatively uneventful post operative period.
