Unusual Clinical Presentation and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Supratentorial Epidermoid Cyst

Abstract

Epidermoid cysts in the lateral temporal lobe presenting with seizures are rare accounting for <5% of all intracranial epidermoid cysts. Preoperative diagnosis can be further confounded by unusual imaging as presented in this case, thus leading to the wrong preoperative diagnosis of the case as a neoplastic pathology.
