It is known that the intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) lowers the threshold for motor evoked responses (MEPs) in the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in humans. We describe the case of a patient with a clinically silent
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV primary malignant astrocytoma. Aneurysms are devastating intracranial neurovascular pathologies. Intracranial dermoid cysts are common, benign lesions which can be clinically silent or associated with seizure disorder. We
A 32-year-old man had generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures associated with episodes of recurrent high fever for 6 years. Repeated physical examinations including neurological status, EEG and nuclear brain scan were negative. Brain CT showed a non-homogeneous parasellar cyst of low density and
Central nervous system dermoid cysts are very rare lesions derived from ectopic epithelial cells. They are slow-growing benign tumors, but may cause significant morbidity through compression of neurological and vascular vascular structures and, rarely, rupture into the subarachnoid space. We present
Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare tumors derived from ectopic epithelial cells. They are slow-growing benign entities, but can cause significant morbidity through compression of neurovascular structures and, rarely, rupture into the subarachnoid space. We present a rare case of a spontaneously
Phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica (PP) is a mosaic disorder that represents a distinct epidermal naevus syndrome. Its defining features are an epidermal naevus that is usually of the sebaceous type and a speckled lentiginous naevus arranged in a chequerboard pattern. In addition, there are
An 11-month-old female neutered Ragdoll cat was presented for focal seizures, aggression and altered behaviour. A diagnosis of a nasal dermoid cyst with intracranial extension was made following MRI, cytology and histopathology. The cyst was surgically excised with a resolution of BACKGROUND
Dermoid cysts are rare intracranial lesions that can occasionally rupture into intraventricular and subarachnoid spaces and can present with a myriad of symptoms. The surgical intervention in such cases is demanding, because the disseminated contents are spread widely in intraventricular
The authors describe a case of a giant intracranial mature cystic teratoma in a 16-year-old girl presenting acutely with a severe headache, vomiting and a complex generalised seizure with a background history of intermittent headaches for 3 years. CT and MRI brain demonstrated a ruptured large
OBJECTIVE
Nasofrontal dermoid sinus cysts are rare. The embryological origin, presentation, treatment, and genetic associations of two cases of these cysts are discussed. Emphasis is placed on physical findings and the importance of addressing both the intracranial and extracranial
Intracranial dermoid cysts are ectodermal lesions of embryological origin. They are of slow progression and symptoms associated with unruptured cysts are most commonly due to mass effect. However, a potential rupture in the ventricular system is rare and can cause meningitis, seizures and
Midline dermoid cysts, although rare, typically present as nasal or glabellar masses with potential sinus tract extension to the skin or to the central nervous system. Craniofacial dermoid cysts present in varied ways, including asymptomatic puncti, infection, or seizure secondary to intracranial
We report the case of a 28-year-old male admitted to the emergency department for generalized seizure. A brain computed tomography (CT) revealed a ruptured dermoid cyst of the supra-tentorial stage (multiple drop-shaped fat structures were found in the subarachnoid space, basal cisterns and in
