Unusual case of temporal dermoid cyst presenting as oculomotor nerve palsy

Dermoid cysts are choristomas resulting from the inclusion of ectodermal tissue during closure of the neural tube and occur along the epithelial lines of fusion. Frontotemporal dermoids are the most common type and generally present as an asymptomatic mass. We present an unusual case of frontotempor...

description Dermoid cysts are choristomas resulting from the inclusion of ectodermal tissue during closure of the neural tube and occur along the epithelial lines of fusion. Frontotemporal dermoids are the most common type and generally present as an asymptomatic mass. We present an unusual case of frontotemporal dermoid presenting as sudden onset oculomotor nerve palsy in young male patient and describe the neurosurgical approach in its management.
