Abstract :Intracranial dermoid cysts account for less than 0.7% of all intracranial tumours. These are cystic masses that develop due to the ectopic placement of congenital tissues during early embryonic development. They typically present in childhood or early adulthood with symptoms related to mass effect, such as headache, epilepsy, and other neurological signs. The cyst contents generally consist of tissues derived from both ectodermal and mesodermal origins. Early detection and total excision prior to rupture can provide a complete cure. Herein, we present a case of a patient who was admitted with epileptic seizures and was diagnosed with an intracerebral dermoid cyst located in the left temporal region. The case is discussed in the context of current literature.
