{Abstract}: Epidermoid cysts of the pineal region are a rare entity. Herein, the authors describe the endoscopic resection of a recurrent pineal region epidermoid by way of a supracerebellar infratentorial approach. The patient was positioned in the semiseated upright position with head tilted to the right and slightly flexed, maximizing gravity-based cerebellar retraction, and a paramedian craniotomy was performed owing to the gradual flattening of the tentorium from medial to lateral. This setup, in tandem with the enlarged viewing window achieved by use of 0°, 30°, and 70° endoscopes, afforded the necessary access to achieve a satisfactory resection through this anatomical corridor.
