Sumario:Unexpected bone lesions of the skull present a common dilemma, where radiological appearance and patient’s clinical background are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis.

Most of these lesions are asymptomatic and neurological involvement is rare. We present the first report of enostosis-related epilepsy.
